Homemade Scalloped Potato Mix (Better Than Betty's) Using Dehydrated Potatoes ~ Stocking Your Pantry

[@dollyhamilton6702]

for scalloped potatoes: Preheat oven to 350. Grease pan and add potatoes, DISSOLVE MIX in the cold water or milk. Pour mixture over potatoes. Add hot water, stir. Add pats of butter on top. Cover with alum foil and let sit while oven preheats. Bake 30 mins covered. Uncover and continue baking another 20 to 25 mins or until browned. Take out of oven and let sit for about 10 mins before serving.

I found potato’s for .99 for 5 lbs, so I grabbed 20 lbs, 5 for fresh use, and I dehydrated 15. I also made this sauce mix, I absolutely love it. I’ve bagged up several little sets for gift bags I make up for a neighbor who has been having a hard time and has nothing in her pantry. I am going to be looking for other dried food kits I can add to her pantry. If you have others I’d love suggestions! You really are a blessing and have made it easier for me to build my pantry and help others with theirs. Thank you

Thank you sweet pea! 💕

The first time I used my dehydrated potatoes to make scallop potatoes I was blown out of the water. They taste so soo much better than store-bought boxed scalloped potatoes. Thank you for this video I enjoy watching you have been for a long time. And have done several of your recipes for canning and others and they never fail.😀👍🏼

[@countryboycharlie9793]

Love them scalloped potatoes, I just love potatoes lol👍❤️🙏🏼

[@sandys7118]

AWESOME video! I love making up shelf stable convenience mixes to put in my pantry. Please do more of these videos using dehydrated items. And thank you for ideas and recipes to change the recipe such as your Potato Stroganoff recipe! Love your channel!!!!

[@natalieyoumans2463]

Definitely vacuum sealing this in jars! Thank you!

[@villagesteader3552]

Yes!! I just dehydrated a load of slices and dices! ♥️♥️♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓🐓

[@beingbarb6380]

I've dusted off my dehydrator a few weeks ago. Keep the dehydrating vids coming! Love this one!!

[@SuperLauramack]

So excited to try this recipe! I bought some whole milk powder and might use that instead of non-fat and add cheese powder.Would love to see a potato salad recipe with these too! Great video!

[@bbetter746]

I just bought 3 boxes of dehydrated potatoes from Sams club to vacuum seal and put in storage. I’ll have to try this recipe with them . I love the dry milk and cheeses from Hoosier Hill Farms.

[@alphastarcar]

You and your video are a heaven sent! Just as I wrapped up dehydrating 10lbs of potatoes I was wondering about a shelf stable sauce for them and then your video was suggested in my YT feed. Carol thank you so much for simplifying life for me. I’m now a new subscriber to your channel and I look forward to viewing your knowledge base. Thanks again!❤️

[@anitalee9097]

You have one of the best channels on YT! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@carolhinson8779]

I am so super happy you did this ,🥰

[@Plantsonpurpose]

I love this recipe! For all of my other lactose intolerant friends out there, I buy powdered soy milk and use that in addition to adding 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast. I also love the seasoned salt and sometimes will use Slap Yo Mama Cajun Seasoning instead in addition to using Next milk so it's creamier. So good. Thanks for sharing!

[@cabinlife6590]

This looks amazing. I'm definitely gonna have these made up in jars on the shelf. I love your ideas.

[@tracierosser8631]

Thank you so much for the bulk recipe, the cooking, and possible variations! ❤ These look delicious ❤

[@shawnamarcum3077]

My potatoes are dehydrating now! This is what I will be making yum 😋

[@nicolesobol936]

I’m ALWAYS stuck on how to use my dehydrated foods! Thank you so very much for this tutorial❤️ Looking forward to canning season! My kids love that Big Daddy’s powdered cheese over popcorn as well!

[@ksewald91]

We tried this out last night. It was so good. None of that funky chemical taste like store bought mix. A keeper!

[@kristinadavies5180]

I followed your video for dehydrating potatoes last fall when potatoes were in season and I bought bulk, then made this dry mix for the scallop potatoes and had everything in the cupboard as emergency food....I finally decided to try making it and wow...this was the best scallop potatoes I've ever made. I will be making this a lot.

[@juliamarple3785]

Thank you so much for writing down all those instructions. Here I am 4 months later with a big ol jar of sauce mix in my pantry & a buncha fresh potatoes. Couldnt find my notes anywhere. Meat loaf and scalloped potatoes for dinner!

[@sallywall4385]

Just finished making your Scalloped Potatoes. Thank you for the heads up on the milk. I checked mine and redid my labels to show the Best By date. Feel better now! Thanks again.

[@AmyOgdenMichigan]

Great video! Now I am seriously thinking of a dehydrator.

[@susanlozano428]

This looks like a great, quick shelf stable mix. Thx.

[@ksewald91]

I just happened to be dehydrating potatoes yesterday and found this. Going to try this for my pantry. Looks yummy! My mom always put a few slices of bacon on top and skip the butter. Yum!

[@MJ-fb2zq]

Thank you wow i love it. ❤️

[@AcornHillHomestead]

The stroganoff idea would be great with canned ground beef! 😉. I dehydrated a ton pf potato slices for long term storage. This mx is just what ai need! And here you are. 👍🏻

[@mssavedin92]

taters got done, nice and crisp, now just need to get the mixture made. Again, thankyou for this.

[@joanies6778]

This is fantastic! My first year growing potatoes, so I will definitely be dehydrating some and make these instant meals in a jar for storage. Love this.

[@dulceshimkus6496]

Hello! I just found your channel and I love it! I dehydrated 10lbs of potatoes yesterday and made the bulk batch of sauce. I am taking these on a remote camping trip where refrigeration will be very difficult. We will not have access to an oven. Do you have a suggestion for making these on the stove top? We will have cast iron and camp stoves. I am also planning to take on a backpacking trip. I’m so excited to have these with us! Thank you again!

[@710LENNY]

Okay, this looks good. I dehydrated potatoes several years ago, and the have used the cubed ones a lot in soups and stews. Wonderful. I tried the slices with a sauce recipe from another channel, and was less than impressed. When finished it tasted like raw lumpy flour at the bottom of the casserole and the taters were not really re-hydrated to my liking, so the rest of the slices have been sitting for a while. Your ratio of flour to corn starch looks much better, and the amount of liquid seems more reasonable. I will still try a single batch before making a bulk batch, but I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel. And BTW, you could also dehydrate your own cheese for long term storage. It's really not that difficult, and even if all you do is sprinkle it on popcorn it's a winner.

[@katharvey7324]

I love this recipe and I share it often. Also, the premium cheddar cheese is really good sprinkled over popcorn!

[@trenaoquinn753]

Can’t wait to try these!

[@JaniceCrowell]

I would also add a couple of spoons full of my greens powder.

[@charlottecampbell417]

Great video. Full of seasoning ideas. Also thanks for the introduction to Hoosier Hill products.

I will be doing these. Thankyou for this recipe and all the other suggestions for meals in jars.

[@tammymcquigg8889]

I had no idea how easy this would be. I have a dehydrator and have never used it for potatoes.. I'm going to try this. Will let you know how they turn out.

[@lisayates7320]

Thank you so much for these videos!! My husband just ordered me a dehydrator and I was curious of how to use it. You are such a blessing!!!

[@juliamarple3785]

This totally worked, thank you! Turns out, I'm really good at growing potatoes, but I don't like them canned. They just dehydrate up so well. I'm going to make a jar of sauce mix for the pantry. Ingredients on hand!

[@debbiealtman4572]

One of the people I subscribed to makes homemade cream of something dry mix all you add is the cream milk mushrooms bits or chicken pieces or celery. It’s the way to go like you’ve done. I’ve got to give this a try.

[@auntiepam5649]

I watched your video last week on dehydrating potatoes and after many fails with your help I as very successful. Thank you so much.

[@darlenerilliet7924]

This is the best recipe ever thanks so much . I was no sure until I tried them. Now I have subscribed to your channel because you are so informative. How to use how to do and be safe.

[@jeannainnc8390]

i ran across a deal for a name brand sliced dehydrated potatoes that included a packet. I separated the potatoes from the packet and sealed them for longer term storage. I paid something like 79 cents per box that serves 6. It sure beat waiting on the dehydrator and the time put into prepping the potatoes.

[@peggyreid8749]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have dehydrated potatoes but dint have a recipe. Thank You

[@carolrichardson5958]

Great idea, I have some freeze dried potatoes I made from a 50 lb bag of russets, I’m going to make this sauce mixture & have some potato stroganoff tonight for dinner.

[@randystevens2710]

Thank You for your time making the video. I do wish people would use weights instead of dry measurements. Potatoes per cup are really hard as they vary the amount you can get in a cup. But thank you so much

[@beckyoverstreet7478]

You can Vacuum your jar to remove air with a food saver lid sealer adapter that fits canning jars. Also, there is a mason jar lid that has a valve so you can remove the air and to un-lock the seal you just press the center button valve.

If you use white pepper use very little because it is hot.I made my potatoes and used skim and they were so good. Better than fresh ones.

[@donnamyers7274]

Looks delish. Now you've got me checking out dehydrators on Amazon. Question: Can you seal those jars with a jar sealer to give the mix and potatoes an even longer shelf life? Would that extend the shelf life of the dry mix past the "use by" date??? I discovered you last week and have been binge watching all your video's, esp the canning ones. Excellent vlog. 👏Thanks for what you do!🙂

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

You can certainly vacuum seal your jars but it doesn’t extend the shelf life bc of the powdered milk. I would still use the dry milk date as my use by date to be safe 😊

[@lindajenkins3950]

Thanks for this video! I can't wait to make these this week.

Found your site and enjoyed the scalloped potatoes. Enjoyed your directions, very clear and now it's made me want to do more recipes for meals in a jar. I have dehydrated vegetables this past 6 months and learned alot. I'm not comfortable in doing canning. Do you have any additional recipes with dehydrating vegetables with DIY sauce mixes, something similar to scalloped potatoes?

When you do the hamburger helper version can you cook it on the stove top instead of the oven, and if so, how long does it usually take.
