Someone gave us a gallon of dehydrated shredded potatoes. So easy. Soak in a certain amount of warm water for 10 minutes, toss in a frying pan with butter and fry up for breakfast. I would shove them off to one side and do an egg over easy in the same pan.
Diana’s Pantry Staples Corn Chowder
I was hungry for some Corn Chowder, so I came up with this recipe based upon what was on hand in my pantry and fridge.
3 stalks Celery, chopped w/leaves
1 Onion, chopped
1 Carrot, shredded
In your soup pot, saute the above in your choice of oil, butter or both
4 strips Bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional, but good!)
Add to the pot:
Two cans whole potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 12 oz. can of Evaporated Milk
2 cans Creamed Corn
2 Cups Water
1 tsp. Vegeta seasoning (or 1 or 2 chicken or veggie cubes)
S & P
Add the crumbled bacon back in and heat everything through.
You can add other veggies you may have on hand. Saute with the first three if fresh, or add them in when you add the liquids if they’re already cooked.
When you re-heat it in days following, just add some everyday milk to thin it a little; it seems to get thicker after it’s refrigerated.
