- Potatoes are easy to grow, are rich in nutrients, and can be cooked in a variety of ways in hundreds of recipes. Adding potatoes to your food storage to ensure food security in times of emergency is both prudent and inexpensive. Dehydrating or freeze drying potatoes present many options for making potatoes shelf stable for several years. This video shows you how.

Thank you so MUCH! Married 34 years to a meat and potatoes Irishman...this is sincerely appreciated.
Thanks for watching our channel.
I made the mistake of not blanching my potatoes because I didn't know to. Some had turned black. I'm glad I threw them out instead of freeze drying them. No one wants gross potatoes. Thanks for making these videos.
Your tests on the potatoes mean so much to us. You do the work and we reap the benefits. THANK YOU! 🌹
Yes. It is a bit of work.
I love how the work is done ahead of time and when times of stress cooking is easy. Prep work is done. Everything is chopped, diced, sliced, grated etc. It's just a matter of tossing stuff together. I put my freeze dried single items in jars. If I have a lot (I freeze dried ALL of our corn) it goes in buckets.
I've made dehydrated mashed potatoes. Do them the way you are doing the freeze dried. Spread them on the dehydrator trays and dry. When you blend them just pulse the blender or food processor to get smaller pieces so it resembles potatoe flakes. Add boiling water, butter, milk etc to reconstitute. Perfect every time. Just don't powder them. That's too fine! I've vacuumed sealed them in jars for 8 years, and they are still good! As long as the seal holds, check every month!
I was gonna do the same thing to make mashed potatoes from dehydrated potatoes. I know not to powder them since Pam has already tried that process, Don't powder, just process to make flakes. Hope it works for me!
You vacuum sealed the freeze dried diced potatoes in jars or the mashed potatoes in jars?
@kathleencambiano8005 I dehydrated them, not freeze dried. After dehydrating, I broke them up, then vacuum sealed in jars.

What a phenomenally huge undertaking for our education. Thank you ever so much, Pam!
You are so welcome!
I'm going to dehydrate apple rings .follow by potatoes! Thanjs
You've taught me just about everything I know about pressure canning Pam. That's not an easy task, as I've already told you about my challenge...dyslexia. Thank you for your patience with my questions and literal clear instructions that I need. Your wonderful and kind to me. As I know your the same with everyone. But I take it personally and love you for it.
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind words.
coming in late here, but ... if you have a pressure canner like the Presto (which is what i use) you will probably find using the 3 weight set much easier! ignore the guage, no worrying about if it is over or under the right pounds... just put on the right weight and if it is rocking the pressure is good!
@@fabricdragon please explain the 3 Guage. I have the Presto 23 qt.
@@sunny4849 pressure canners come with 5psi, 10psi and 15psi weights. The higher altitude you are the more pressure (per square inch) you need to use. I am under 1,000 feet above sea level and pressure can at 10psi. I'm betting places like Louisiana can pressure can at 5psi since some parts of that state is BELOW sea level. But I don't know that for sure, it's just an educated guess. And people in high altitude levels can at 15psi.
When your canner hits the appropriate level of steam your weights will start rocking or jiggling and you can hear it. I don't even bother using the gauge even though it is right in my face. As long as the weight is gently rocking and I can hear it, I know all is well. If it's rocking like crazy, the fire needs to he turned down a bit. The gauges are a visual that can help, but I rely mainly on listening to my weights. The gauge is just an extra or a visual bonus.
@@crazydee1955 you have perhaps just answered a question I've been trying to find an answer for. I'm actually under sea level @ -39. And no matter whom I asked, even calling my cooperative extension (they didn't have an answer as it appears everyone is retired) and then email the one I was directed to since and no one has answer.. your answer opens a possibility to actually pressure can lol.
"Aren't you excited, Jim?" so adorable! Frankly, the most exciting video on potatoes I've ever watched. :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
I really would have liked to have heard Jim's reply....ha. I agree, though, great video.
@@MeowsTheTime I was waiting for his response, too!😁
I completely agree with you.
I could not agree more. Who would have thought?
😂 💜 🥰
Congratulations on 100K. I’m very glad I’m one of them.
We are glad too! Thank you! Yay!!!!
This video gives a massive amount of information in a very short time. I know this was a large amount of work and I want you to know I appreciate all you do.
Thank you. That means a lot.
caroleanne8529, I agree! Pam’s teaching style is clear and concise, and she is always so organized. I appreciate these videos very much!
Potatoes are life!!!! Great video. Your hair always looks lovely. Blessings to you.
I love dehydrating potatoes. Primarily farmers market potatoes, as fresh potatoes have such marvelous flavor. Dehydrating it preserves that flavor perfectly. Great vid, and congrats on the 100K!
Thank you! We are so excited about the 100K subscribers--thanks to our wonderful community.
Good idea! I’ll get some really fresh ones for dehydrating.
Thanks for your comments. I could eat potatoes every.single.day. Do they taste similar to fresh? I have NEVER dehydrated anything and just hooked up my new Cosori dehydrator. Cindy
@@nevastrong2850 Thanks for your comment! I find farmers market fresh potatoes, dehydrated, taste exactly the same when rehydrated a year later. No loss of flavor that I can detect. They're absolutely delicious! You'll love your new dehydrator. I use mine for garlic, celery, onion, peppers, corn, mixed veg and broccoli for starters. Makes dinner prep so easy!
"Aren't you excited, Jim?" hahaha love you lots. Congrats on 100k!
Yes! Thank you! We are celebrating!
Congrats! Truly a RUclips National Treasure! I really appreciate the quality of info you offer. One of the best. Thank you both.
Thank you so much!
Enjoyed listening to you experiment on mashed potatoes. Very good to know.
I tried actually cooking diced potatoes completely before freeze drying. They turned out great!! Potato soup, potato salad, etc on the horizon!! Congrats on your subs!! See what happens when you're just plain good?!?!
Rosette Cupp, what kind of machine do you use for freeze drying? Thanks.
Thanks for being one of the 100K subscribers.

I so wish I could get a freeze dryer. But I can't do that just now. Maybe soon. I did get a cosori dehydrator a week ago, I just haven't used it yet.
You are popular because you experiment and teach. I have learned so much from your channel.
Congratulations Pam 100,000+ omg. Congratulations to Jim too, working hard behind the scenes. A very informative video. You’ve done all the hard work with the spuds, thank you.
Thank you so much!
Lord, how I wish I could afford a freeze drier - alas, I'll just have to be happy with canning and dehydrating. Thank you so much for all of the great information you disseminate, and the subs - you deserve it! 💗
An FYI
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you and the videos you and your husband create! Thank you, and CONGRATULATIONS on 100k subscribers! That equals at the very least 100k very fortunate people!!
Thank you so much! We really acknowledge our community for helping us reach that 100K goal!
How can I get your cookbook
Pam, you give the best comparisons on food preservation I have ever seen. I can’t afford a freeze dryer, but can dehydrate, so this is great information to know what works and doesn’t work when dehydrating. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much, Chris. We really appreciate that.
Looking forward to testing out my new dehydrator soon.
Absolutely a 'plus one' from me! Cheers both!
Did I miss the freeze dryer section? What type of a freeze dryer do you use? 😃
Chris, this is where I am at right now too & I 100% agree with you.
I just bought a 50 lb bag from our high school. Thank you!
I made mashed potatoes and dehydrated them last night. Crunchy and delicious
Sounds great!
The reason the potatoes turn black is the starch left in the potato. Every week I have a huge bowl of half cooked potatoes to use at a moments notice, they will last about 2 weeks in a covered bowl in the fridge. The trick is..Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut them into large chunks. don't leave whole. Place them in a large bowl of water and let set for about 20 minutes moving them around a few times. The water will get milky with starch. Drain and rinse thoroughly with cold water.. Bring the pot to boil and add the potatoes ( do not add salt to the water ).. cook just half way, you don't want them cooked fully, you want them still firm enough to slice for frying or fries. Leave in the colander and let cool completely. Place in a large bowl and keep covered. reduce the size of bowl as they are used to avoid excess air. I have been doing this for 50 years. And a good way to get those aging potatoes peeled and stored without having to use them immediately.
You can store your potatoes in single layer in Costco stacking boxes(free) for atleast 8-10 months with no problems. Fresh is best and grow them.
Congratulations. You are one of my favs.
Mine too! Shes taught me everything....Blessings from Michigan..🖐😄
Thank you, we appreciate your subscription.
I love how you get right to the task at hand. Very informative. I think we will have about 300 pounds of potatoes from our garden this year and needed your teaching! Thank you!
Congratulations on 100k!💯
Thanks! All of you as subscribers made that possible.
I recommend your channel to people in my personal life and in canning and stocking up groups I am in because your instructions are very clear and thorough and scientific based. I really enjoy watching your videos.
We so appreciate that! Wow. Thank you. And thanks for your support.
Pam, you are the most thorough prepper I've ever seen. If I want to know how something is done right in food preservation, you are at the top of the heep! Thank you so much for everything you teach us and all the hard work you put into these videos.
little dear: Thank you for the very kind complements. Jim
I have looking at a few other sites and most say to dehydrate at 125*, is this to low of heat? I follow ur advice always, your my number 1 go to person! I've never seen anyone else go through the lengths of showing us how you do things, I love the experiments you do and I love the scientific explanations you have, WE CANT GO WRONG ! Lol
Bless you for all your efforts plus thank you Jim for his camera work
Thanks so much, Pam and Jim, this was a ton of work! That’s one of the things that sets your channel apart and makes it grow so fast(100K subs! Congratulations!). The other thing is your attention to detail and thoroughness. Thanks again! Makes me want to get a freeze dryer.
Thank you--we appreciate your kind comment. And thanks for helping us reach that 100K subs!
I always get excited when I see another video by you popping up!!!
ALSO the beginning of the music intro sounds like a pressure cooker! It’s the percussion of the music!
Oh my gosh...it really does. I love that comparison! Thank you.
My daughter got a dehydrator with stainless steel trays. Very nice, but the downside is they get so hot. You need to use potholders to handle them. I prefer the plastic trays for that reason.
Good to know! I was wanting one of those as well, but now I am reconsidering! Thank you.
I'm one of your newer subbies, so great that I helped get you over that line. Your information is so well though out. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! I've been bing watching and taking notes. Love from Iowa.
Ditto and also from Iowa. Just upgraded my dehydrator due to these wonderful videos. I just picked up some FREE potatoes so this hit at the perfect time. Blessings to you.
Awesome! Thank you! We appreciate that!
I just discovered your channel and am binge-watching your videos. I’m trying to learn how to put food up because of all the talk of upcoming food shortages, and your style of teaching is the best I’ve seen on RUclips. I sit here with a notebook and pen and note your instructions and comparisons. You are a blessing and thank you for what you do.
Kimberly: That is awesome! Keep up the good work and keep us apprised on your successes. Jim
Gosh I just dug up my red skins . I’ve been canning them with leeks and bay leaf . Good for frying soups and casserole. Thank you for the tips . 💕
Sounds great!
I'm just discovering your site. Very inspiring presentations! You make it all seem so possible!! 👍
Thanks and welcome!
Newbie here as well 😌
Congrats. You present details in such a way that they are easily followed. I also must have those details logically explained. If I can't see the logic in the whys and how's, I just don't grasp. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
You are incredible!!!! And thank you for all your hard hard work to help teach us!!!!
You are so welcome!
Thankyou for showing us the difference, it saves us so much time and errors.
Your so good at what you do. Natural teacher. BTW I like your kitchen bowls. Cute.
So appreciate the way you compare all the different ways, and including those of us with a dehydrator. I learn so much and apply it.
Wow! I was really impressed with the freeze-dried potatoes. I don't have a freeze dryer but now I want one!!!
Gotta LOVE kitchen science class. Thank you!!
Absolutely great testing on potatoes 🥔. As always you are appreciated. Can't wait for book!
Thank you so much! I am working on my part of the book every day!
Yes!!
You are so valued! I've stumbled on your you tube videos and each time I watch them tears pop into my eyes.. Growing up, my mother wasn't into the garden things nor was she into preserving food. So my knowledge has come from my mother in law mostly and is very limited. With today's world my husband and I are trying to start a food preserve so we don't need to depend on the store as much. My mother in law is fading with memory 😔 so the wealth of information she has always been is no longer there. Your videos are providing me that knowledge. When I watch your videos my emotions get me. Your children and grandchildren have the very best knowledge packed away in these videos for Generations to come!
Your way of teaching is my way of learning. Your tips, your trial and errors, your methods in alternatives like dehydration, freeze drying, canning etc. Gives me the ability to take what works for me and have confidence in doing it. You are so informative. I dont mean to make you feel "old" with this but, you are that grandmother, that I never had, that passes down all those tip and tricks in baking and canning. (Maybe thats where my emotions get the better of me when I watch your videos.) So thank you 😊 for providing me that wealth of information. I have enjoyed watching and learning. I have laughed with you as you and Jim make funnies here and there. You just fill my heart with the warmth and knowledge its been craving.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you for link to pressure canning potatoes. Really liked your videos.
"Not like eating rocks" :) Great video! I've always wondered how to preserve potatoes!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm watching you on TV roku came here to give comment thumb up. Thank you beautiful Red head your so thorough but simple instructions. Thank you so much.
You have inspired me to prep for my large family. I love your knowledge , thank you for sharing your gift with us all
I truly appreciate this scientific styled experiment. I would accept those results for our home pantry as I know you are very meticulous about the presentation of facts. So thank you very much!
Congratulations on 100,000 subbies.
I’m so thankful for all your hard work and the information you share.
You are very welcome!
I am so glad to have found your channel!!! I’m learning so much from you. Thank you. I have three children , 12 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. I am learning everything that I can. I then teach my family. Thank you.
It is wonderful that you are sharing your knowledge with your family.
Fantastic that you hit that magic number! Your videos have been a true blessing for many of us. Always interesting content backed by logic/data. Jim also does a wonderful job with the videoing. Enjoy your potatoes in whatever form strikes you!
Thanks! And we are celebrating this goal!
Omg CONGRATS!!!! I can say I was in the 1st 200 I believe😃 100000 is a lot of viewers!!

Thanks so much!! We are celebrating!
Thank you for being so loyal to us, making sure we have the right information!
You are appreciated by 100,000+!
How wonderful, thanks for your hard work ❤
Kind of surprised that powdered potatoes wouldn't make mashed potatoes!
Good to know. Thanks Pam.
Just a thought to everyone who watches and learns from Rosebud homestead, spread their videos far and wide and help them help others. We are in tough times now and I fear terrible times to come so this information could be very beneficial to a lot of people!
Thanks everyone!
P. S. No I am not affiliated in any way with Rosebud homestead or Jim and Pat. Just being a good digital neighbor!
Miss Rose, you are a national treasure...or should be!!! The amount of energy, effort, and time that you put into your experiments to help us make the best products for our families is immensely appreciated!!! How could I not subscribe after this phenomenal video! Thank you!!!
Congratulations on 100K! I love your videos- I am relatively new to all this and your videos have been super helpful and oddly right on time with what I am thinking about.
Thank you--we are celebrating that goal, thanks to our supportive community.
This is one of the best, most thorough instruction videos I have ever seen. Excellent job getting prepped & choreographed with the stages to completion. Many thanks. It was a chuckle when you tested the chunks saying "they're not like rocks...". Offering another point: This method is a good option of preserving for diabetics & weight watching bec the sugar component of the potato converts to resistant starch which does not raise one's blood sugar.
Congratulations! Love watching, learning, and applying what you teach! Thank you!
Congrats!!!! I love your channel!! I make mashed potatoes and dry them like you did and then powder them and they make beautiful instant mashed potatoes!!! I have learned an enormous amount from you over the last year so I really appreciate all you do!!!
In a dehydrator or freeze dryer?
Thank you! I am also interested the your answer to Cythia's question!
@@cynthiafisher9907 in a dehydrator. Then I break them up and grind them up in my coffee grinder. They work wonderful for instant mashed potatoes. Lots like the ones you can get in the bags. Like the garlic mashed potatoes or the loaded baked potato flavors. 🥔
@@RoseRedHomestead I answered her question. I hope you can see it. If not I will type it out here too. 😊😊
@@melaniewhite3300 Wow, that’s exciting! I will have to try it myself. I have a dehydrator, but not a freeze dryer.
I am happy for you two! You deserve this. you put a lot of time and effort into content and it shows. we appreciate it. I am sure there is something here for everyone. keep up the great work!

Rarely have someone deserved it more! 🏆
I’m thankful for your demo. I don’t have a freeze dryer but I will be dehydrating potatoes this year. I planted 18 (20gal) grow bags of potatoes. I pray I get a good harvest.
That sounds wonderful.
Thank you so very much for all you do to teach us. God Bless you
Thanks for your help and suggestions. I found this dehydrator on Amazon - 9 metal trays - and love it. We are hooked. Tons to learn but we’re running it every day..
All because of that woman with a gadget.
I’m so excited that you did this! Gives me a guideline for our food storage. Thank you
You are so welcome!
I flake up my freeze dried mashed potatoes and vacuum seal them in jars. That works fabulous
Sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
You are an inspiration. I’m a pretty new subscriber and adore you. Just upgraded my dehydrator. Had to. You’re videos are amazing. Love the science. Just got a bunch of FREE potatoes so this is serendipity!
Thank you so much and welcome!

Thank you so much 😀
Thanks again for this type of video! It’s amazingly helpful.
@RedRose Homestead, I got the idea to dehydrate potatoes and thought I needed to learn about it first. I searched RedRose Homestead dehydrated potatoes and found this video. As usual, you did not let me down! Much love and appreciation for all you do! 💛
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much. Jim and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Great comparison and even great information. Thank you so much. Congratulations on 100,000. Proud of all your hard work.
