More about dried potatoes with pictures

I made more hash brown potatoes.  This time I used red potatoes.  This time I was busy and left the potatoes in the refrigerator for 3 days before I had a change to grate them  They were fine.  I also used my Kitchen Aid to grate them.  I held the dehydrator trays under the grater and let them fall onto it.  This was faster.  There were slices that didn't grate.  I picked them out and composted them.

 One of the trays filled.


 Fill the trays as full as you can get them.


Another view of the trays filled.  They were dry in about 6 hours.

I started them at night and put them on an automatic timer, so they would shut off in the middle of the night.  This worked great.  I usually turn them off until morning.  I knew they wouldn't be dry if I turned them on when I got up and back off when I left for work and I didn't want to leave them until I got home.  I will use the timer again.
