Thanks for commenting--it's always appreciated!<br /><br />Pam--My mother has a dehydrator and she loves it--I would have to save up for one, but it is definitely a great idea.

They taste SO much better than store bought. I plan to dehydrate potatoes in the fall as well as cabbage!<br /><br />P.S. My 18 year old daughter and her boyfriend laughed at my dehydrator until I tucked a few pieces of the pineapple in their picnic lunch:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723973879747868138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-87711240928831090492009-06-05T10:27:31.815-06:002009-06-05T10:27:31.815-06:00I second the canning.

In the restaurant I once worked in the ladies would boil a big pot then refrigerate for later - diced for chunky fried, shredded for hashbrowns, sliced for quick breakfast potatoes. The boiling makes the cooking go quicker as all you are doing is reheating and browning.Stephanie in ARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117946992633230458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-77857838767922629472009-06-05T09:54:16.352-06:002009-06-05T09:54:16.352-06:00We grilled potatoes on the grill last night with s...We grilled potatoes on the grill last night with some salt and pepper -- AMAZING!

Thanks for the additional information--I'll have to check out moisture content etc. before I start canning--think I'm getting closer to actually doing it. Phobias of pressure canners are not helpful...thanks for your comment! <br /><br />Kristen--I will check that site out.

You have to have low Moisture pots like the kind they use for chips (grown extensively here) otherwise they turn to mush. I do about 100 lbs a year and then use them in soup and stews. They mash up ok but a little bit bland...<br /><br />You hubby is a good man for doing all he does...<br /><br />CarlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-52452611129491954562009-06-04T13:45:47.089-06:002009-06-04T13:45:47.089-06:00how blessed you must feel to have a husband like y...how blessed you must feel to have a husband like yours!

Otherwise, if you're fond of grilling, then wrap them in foil or brush the skins with some oil and arrange on the outside edge of the grill as the first thing in / last thing off.
