Container was smaller than other dried veggies I've purchased online.

I keep some things for emergenies and this is great for many dishes.

For me, this is the best way to deal with potatoes. Non-gmo. Already prepared, so no peels to deal with. No wasted potatoes, such as old ones remaining in a bag too long, etc. Anytime at all I just pop a serving or more in my QUALITY rice cooker (made in JAPAN) and in about one hour I have them prepared ready to eat by doing nothing but adding water and pushing a button. They remain good to eat all day long in my quality rice cooker. What a wonderful discovery. Half the time in the past, when contemplating having potatoes, I would put it off as I did not want to deal with all the extra preparation; peeling rinsing, pan, utensils, oils and the cleanup. I feel as if I have made a major discovery. (tip: Harmony House sweet potatoes and corn make a nice combo. i add coconut oil; a tad when cooking and add like butter after.)

I bought these to keep on hand for those times when I am making soup and realize the last of my fresh potatoes are not good anymore, or if I run out. I thought to myself "just how good can a dehydrated potato taste"? Well, when this arrived earlier today I opened the canister and put a few in a small saucepan with water and boiled them for a few minutes then tasted them, they taste like really fresh potatoes and instead of either buying loose potatoes and paying sky high prices because we can't finish a whole bag of potatoes before they go bad, or buying the whole bag at the lower price and having them go bad before we will use them all I think from now on I will simply depend on these for those times when I use potatoes. While the price may seem high to most people the way I look at it is almost half a bag of potatoes get thrown out around here all the time or I'm left paying more than a dollar a pound for the loose potatoes and those too often have to get discarded before we use them.........with these dehydrated on the shelf we will have them when we need them and none will hit the trash can, thus actually saving us some money.

Dump ingredients of a twice baked potato,w/o the shredded cheese,add 1 1/2 cups dehydrated potatoes and 3 cups water or chicken broth in a 6qt. instant pot. Cook on soup mode for 19 minutes & then let natural release 10 minutes before quick release. Open & stir in 1-2 cups cheese to your liking. Great comfort food for winter!!
