Harmony House Foods Dehydrated Diced Potatoes - Dried Potato Pieces, For Hash Browns, Stews, Soups, Home Fries, and More, 10.5 Ounces

I bought this is a quick and easy meal prep item or for when I’m lazy or when I am going camping or traveling the dices are small but it’s potatoes. They’re going to add a little bit of starchy goodness to your meal. I have use them for soups twice now and it is super handy

It has been years since I purchased dried potato cubes, perhaps as much as 35 years. They have changed for the better (fresher flavor). Glad I found these. If you want to extend something like a can of corned beef hash, or add potato dices to soups or stews, these are just about perfect.My only "beef" with them is that I needed to thoroughly rehydrate them when using in anything already fairly dry. Soups are okay as long as you give them about 30 minutes, otherwise my strong suggestion is to boil about a cup of water for reach half cup of these dices, pour in, stir several times over about 15 minutes, and then put in something you need to cook for at least 15 more minutes. These are, after all, raw potatoes that have been thoroughly dried.For an extra bit of interest I have tried adding a quarter teaspoon of salt to the hydrating water as well as using several herbs to infuse flavor right into the potatoes.Also, be aware that these are quite small. About 1/8-inch when dry and 50% bigger when hydrated. In other words, if you need good sized chunks of potato is something, these are not the solution.

I'm a huge fan of Harmony House foods, and use them often in my daily cooking. This is the only product of theirs that I haven't given a 5 star rating. Don't get me wrong - they are convenient, tasty, all-natural, and shelf stable. I've used them for several years and I'm not sorry I got them. I normally use them when I'm putting together a soup or stew that will cook for several hours.They have to boil for 15-20 minutes to get tender, and in that time I could boil real potatoes. They're also very small cubes that aren't useful to me in a lot of different recipes. About the only reason I keep these is for long term storage, or in case I can't get to the store for an extended period time.I'm giving them 4 stars because of my excellent experience with Harmony House products, and because they will store for years in my pantry.

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.

Very small sack, and took forever to cook. I was surprised by than.

Basic ingredient for a decent breakfast skillet.

I work in the backcountry of Montana and coordinate meal planning for camping groups. We like to provide high-quality meals (working hard on trails and camping), but must balance the limited weight and space for packing on horses and mules. We tried several brands this summer for dehydrated and freeze-dried food. This brand was one of the best we tried and seemed slightly more economically priced. All staff seemed to prefer the freeze-dried versions versus dehydrated food: the taste and nutrients were better for freeze-dried. Sometimes dehydrated food can lose flavor and have chewy consistency even when re-hydrated. The potato bits were great to add in breakfast burritos easily with some bacon bits and eggs. Handy to have at camp!

Takes forever to hydrate. Flavor was all potato which is good. The size bottle was much smaller than I had antipated so it did not have as many helpings as stated. Would work for soups etc. in an emergency.
