YW!

I think the first recipe on the brand new thread should be Canadian Potato Salad.

please??

I can turn anything into prepper food. I have chocolate (Snickers, Baci, M&Ms, and Almond Roca) in mylar or canning jars with oxygen absorbers. Of course, I have to periodically test them to determine what their shelf-life is under those conditions. I’m a little disappointed the LDS don’t have that information. So far, everything is fresh and the chocolate still soft at 18 months.

Potato salad might be a bit tricky. Unless we can use dry canned potatoes? what do you think ryderann? (she introduced me to dry canning potatoes! I’m going to have to buy some potatoes this week to try it)

“I have chocolate (Snickers, Baci, M&Ms, and Almond Roca)”

Those would NEVER last long enough in my house to worry about going stale.

According to googel: “Basically, chocolate is a great candidate for short-term storage of fewer than 5 years if you store it in a cool, dry environment in an airtight container. Repackaging in Mylar or glass jars with an oxygen absorber or vacuum sealing is considered safe due to the low moisture nature of chocolate.”

As far as potatoes I buy the Idahoan Baby reds in the packets. They cook up just like mashed potatoes. There are other ones like garlic mashed, cheese etc;

I don’t know if it would be worth trying to can potato salad.
It’s so easy and quick to throw together...just a jar of the potatoes, cut-up hard boiled eggs, a sprinkle of frozen peas, and Heinz Sandwich Spread that has everything in it already. I get it online from a store that sells British groceries.
