UNKNOWNCHEF86'S DEHYDRATED SLICED POTATOES (DRIED)

Steps:

• Put a large pot (12 quart?) of water on to boil. A water bath canner works well, or you could do smaller batches in a smaller pot. In my book, it's quicker and much easier to use a large pot.
• Have a sinkful of cold water ready.
• Slice potatoes using either a corkscrew slicer or a mandoline.
• Rinse potatoes with cold water, making sure all slices are separated from each other.
• Gently put the potatoes in boiling water (don't get burnt!) and stir well to make sure potatoes are separated.
• Let cook 3 minutes.
• Drain potatoes and plunge them into the cold water to stop the cooking; stir to make sure they are cooled.
• Dehydrate according to your dehydrator's directions/time -- they should be dry to the point of snapping when done.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
