oh then hell yeah, i would think any method of removing the extra moisture would give you longer freezer life! I'd assume it would preserve texture & taste some too, not as susceptible to 'freezer burn'?

i did some very cursory research before we bought our machine last year & decided it was worth it to invest in one for true long term storage. Removing ALL the moisture during freeze drying & then getting packaged properly with oxygen absorbers is the way for true long term shelf stable storage

boiled, mixed up in the stand mixer, then freeze dried (I have a machine)! Removes all the liquid & then I blended into a powder. Taste tested by adding hot water, cream, butter, & seasoning & it was great! Not the best consistency, I think I mashed/blended too much. Next batch won't be as 'mashed'

just an update, they were BOGO or buy 5 or more @ $0.99 per bag which I didn't notice the first day. When I went back the second day & saw that I definitely bought 5 more bags! Two jars of freeze dried mashed potatoes done, some cooked potatoes still waiting to freeze dry, & 4 bags donated!

Intercepted on the way to the trash pile! This is just what I'm keeping for myself to eat, there's a whole box of scraps for the chickens guines pigs, & my friend's pig!

I've yet to find a veggie that isn't better pickled! 😍 This particular jar is the only one I've tried so far but is AMAZING! it will be short lived 😅

It's too late!! But I have a feeling I'll end up with more at some point, & that sounds like it would be good with pickled radishes too 🤔

It is sometimes so delightful to be Known, thank you my friend!! This is amazing 🤠🐔

I don't even like radishes much but they were destined for the dumpster just because their leaves were slimy 😭 time to pickle!!

Potato chiiiiiiiips!! That ChipShot smells like overheating plastic & is so hard to hold/use I feel like I'm going to break it the whole time but it gets the goddamn job done 🤤

Yeah! Launches them violently into chip form while smelling like very very warm plastic. The trigger is so hard to turn on & Off you can't do it one handed. It's terrible to hold & barely works I love it

Fred Meyer has BOGO free on bags of potatoes & I find myself suddenly with 5 bags of potatoes (we already had a bag, OK, quit judging me), let's GOOOO

This is officially a Guinea Pig Appreciation Account #guineapigs
Just look at this perfect specimen, a perfect gaming buddy! She loves violence & is entranced watching Battlefield 6

It's not in great shape but there will be plenty I can freeze dry for us, some fresh enough to feed the guinea pig some treats, & the rest for the chickens! No mold luckily. A great score!

Potentially if you ask someone working produce at Fred Meyer if they have a "box of trimmings" you can have, they will give you produce on hand that isn't good enough to sell. Especially if you mention it's for animals! Got an entire box of asparagus yesterday to figure out what to do with 😂

OK it doesn't look like much yet, but I love making stock out of the turkey leftovers every year! 😍

yo, I won something! I never win stuff!! All by supporting an awesome organization, LANFest, who empowers communities through gaming!

Praise be to the gods for delicious leftover Mexican food for breakfast
