twilap Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Has anyone dehydrated potato's? I followed the directions in the Blue Book and more than 1/2 the potato's turned brown. Why???? I steam blanched them, rinsed and dehydrated. Link to comment
Freetobeme Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Did you soak them in a lemon juice and water solution after blanching? It sounds as if they oxidized. That is what usually turns fruits and veggies dark. Link to comment
twilap Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 No, I didn't! It said to just rinse them with cold water after.....I will try the lemon juice water...how long should I soak them and how much lemon juice to water? Thanks! Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Since we don't have hard ground freeze here, potatos can stay in the ground until we are ready to use. A cool, dark place also will keep potatos for a very long time. if they start to spout.. plant them! Link to comment
Freetobeme Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Blanch for 5 minutes then soak in a mixture of 1/2 cup lemon juice to 2 quarts cold water. Then dry as usual. Link to comment
