I just bought another dehydrator - for that very reason granny.
When those ten pound bags of potatoes go on sale, I buy one, slice the potatoes (unpeeled) in the Cuisinart rinse them off, soak them in fresh water with lemon juice (to prevent browning) and dehydrate them.
They are then ready for cooking. Re-hydrate them in a bit of boiling water for ten minutes, or bake them in a scallop potato dish.
Yummm. And they are available at any time - any year.
Good for you, once the gardens start producing, you will keep them both going.
I like my dehydrated zucchini for all soups and it keeps well.
You are using your potatoes as I do.
How you will enjoy the efforts you are putting into your dehydrator, I did.
It was a surprise to find that I liked the dehydrated greens...LOL
I did spinach, swiss chard and some of the weed leaves.
All can be brought back or tossed dry in the soup pot.
