Augason Farms Dehydrated Potato Shreds Can, Emergency Food Supply, Everyday Meals, 31 Servings

Inexpensive and good tasting.
I’ve been stocking up on Augason Farms canned foods for a while and I usually get an extra can to try out before I continue to stock up. These shredded potatoes are great. They rehydrate very quickly and make great hash browns by themselves with a little seasoning or in a casserole which I tried. After rehydrating I really couldn’t tell that they were previously freeze dried. Potatoes are very filling and these cans are very inexpensive so I consider them a staple in any emergency food supply. These do not come sealed in pouches inside of the can like some of the other Augason Farms canned products but that’s not a problem in my opinion. These are the kind of thing I’d expect to use the whole can at once. Toss a little butter or oil and salt and pepper on these and you have great hash browns for a small group of people. Easy to prepare and serve, and a great value!

Good potato shreds, but very salty. Drain the water after soaking, or change water a couple times.
Not a great deal even for long tern storage food with 30yr shelf life, but the price is bearable knowing I will have a good variety of decent tasting foods in storage when the next food shortage happens. I buy 1 can of every Auguson Farms item and try them to make sure they taste decent enough for me to want to eat them, then as long as they are good I buy 6-10 of each type of can for long term food storage to cover myself for the next food shortage, and also to use for occasional camping trips. These taste good enough to make hashbrowns but you have to soak them in water and change the water a couple times to get rid of the extremely high amount of salt they contain.

Delicious & Nutritious & a S&P Necessity!
If you’re into Survival & Preparedness, it’s almost a necessity that you have some Augason Farms or Mountain House foods in your survival/”food preps” … both are incredibly expensive … except Augason Farms has great sales several times year … when they do, STOCK UP! These freeze-dried foods last – according to the label- for “25 Years” when unopened & gently stored, and most people agree they would last much longer … and in this particular case, Potatoes happen to be a food you can last for A LONG TIME in an emergency … by the time of the mid-1800s Great Irish Famine (or ‘Potato Famine’) , a hugely significant percentage of the Irish population was subsistent on *strictly Potatoes* – all day, every day – like, Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner, – because it was all they had – BUT … it kept them alive and with minimal health problems … and if you were able to add some Buttermilk to pour over the potatoes / cook them with, it made the meal nutritionally complete and you could not just live, but be relatively healthful , on just potatoes [and some buttermilk] … this is a great product at a great GREAT PRICE [sometimes] and will last you forever, unopened. And who doesn’t like them some Hash Browns / Home Fries etc. So many ways you can dress them up!

Handy for camping
We like to take these camping. Easy to prepare and pretty good with breakfast or on soups

Good

Item arrived, dented on all sides of the can. Seal seems to be in tact. As this is meant to be long term storage, I wish it had arrived in pristine condition.
