Dehydrate Potatoes for Hash Browns

I dehydrate my hash browns. Grate, put in cold water with some lemon juice added so they don't turn brown. Peel or scrub skins very well.

Remove from water and dry on tea towels. Put over boiling water to steam until opaque. Pace in dehydrator until crisp and dry. You can get about 20 lbs. of potatoes in a gallon jar, give or take.

To use, rehydrate in water first. Then squeeze out the water and pan fry as usual.

Enjoy!

Yes, you can, but first you have to blanch them (cook in boiling water for 2 or 3 minutes, drain). This will keep them from turning brown.
