Homestead Food Storage: Freeze Dry Potatoes at Home

In today’s video, I’m preserving red-skinned potatoes by freeze-drying them for long-term storage. I walk you through the entire process, starting with washing the potatoes and cutting away any bad spots. Then I use my Breville Slice & Dice to quickly dice them into even pieces. Once prepped, I load the potatoes onto the freeze dryer trays and run a full batch in the freeze dryer. Since I had more potatoes than would fit at one time, I show how I place the remaining diced potatoes into the freezer to hold them until the next load. After the freeze-drying cycle is complete, I package the potatoes for storage by sealing them in Mylar bags and also storing some in a glass jar. This method is a great way to preserve potatoes for pantry storage, quick meals, and future use. If you enjoy food preservation, homemaking, and building a well-stocked pantry, I hope this video is helpful and encouraging. Disclosure: This video contains Amazon affiliate links.
