For foodservice and production, we provide a large selection of dehydrated potato slices, dices, and shreds. These products are incredibly practical since they give the flavor and nutrition of fresh potatoes without the need for washing, peeling, slicing, dicing, or shredding. They fry up as firmly as newly made potatoes after being rehydrated, which makes them popular with customers who value their authentic potato identity, flavor, and texture.
Any recipe that asks for potatoes, including soups, stews, potato salads, hash browns, and casseroles like scalloped or au gratin potatoes, can be made with dehydrated potato slices, dice, and shreds. Additionally, food producers might look at novel uses for potato chunks in extruded snack pellets and dried and canned soups and stews.
By adding water, raising the temperature to 88°C, and boiling the potatoes until soft, you can rehydrate dry potato chunks. Rehydration times typically range from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size, specifications, and provider of the product. As rehydration requirements can change, always adhere to the manufacturer’s directions for the dehydrated product you’re using.
