UNKNOWNCHEF86'S DEHYDRATED POTATOES AU GRATIN

Unknownchef86's Dehydrated Potatoes Au Gratin image

This is a recipe I came up with after I made recipe #172267. It's far cheaper than the boxed mixes, without all the sodium and the other unnecessary (unpronounceable) ingredients. The recipe can be varied by adding other ingredients (ham, bacon, broccoli, different cheeses, a can of cream of mushroom soup...use your imagination).

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

6 cups dehydrated potato slices
1/4 cup butter
1 1/3 cups half-and-half
4 1/2 cups boiling water
2 cups cheddar cheese, cubed
1/3 cup flour
water

Steps:

Mix potatoes, butter, half and half and boiling water in an ungreased 3 quart pan; stir in cheese cubes.
Bake at 400F for 45-60 minutes or til potatoes are tender.
When tender, mix flour and enough water to make a medium-thick smooth paste.
Stir into potatoes and put back into oven to finish baking (approx. 10 minutes).

Tips:

Use a mandoline to slice the potatoes thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from clumping together.
Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before dehydrating them. This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from browning.
Dehydrate the potatoes at a low temperature (125°F) for 8-12 hours. This will help to preserve their nutrients and flavor.
Once the potatoes are dehydrated, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
To make the au gratin, simply rehydrate the potatoes in boiling water for 5 minutes. Then, add them to a baking dish with cheese, milk, and seasonings. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Dehydrated potatoes au gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like your au gratin cheesy, creamy, or crispy, this recipe is sure to please.
