How to Make Instant Mashed Potatoes - Dehydrating & Storing Homemade Potato Flakes

I've made a couple cooking videos in the past using my DIY potato flakes, but I realized I'd never actually shown how I make them. So in today's video, we're taking a pile of fresh potatoes and processing them down into a jar of shelf-stable dehydrated potato flakes. Just add some of these flakes to boiling water and simmer for a few minutes. Add your favorite seasonings, cream, butter, or whatever you like.
