Any Q

Blanch potatoes before dehydrating – super important!! Blanch until fork tender, 4-6 minutes depending on thickness. Do NOT skip this step. Seriously, the results are not pretty. Potatoes that are not blanched will turn a very unappealing grey to black colour as they dehydrate. 17 сент. 2013 г.


Can you dehydrate raw potatoes?

Potatoes can be dehydrated from uncooked potatoes, blanched, partially-cooked, or fully cooked potatoes. From my own experience and experimenting, I've found that half-cooked potatoes rehydrate the best.

Do you have to blanch before dehydrating?

Most but not all vegetables need to be blanched before they are dried. You can do this by briefly immersing them in boiling water. This blanching step destroys enzymes that would otherwise survive the dehydration process and cause the food to decline in quality over time.
