Not a potato related question but has anyone here ever dehydrated rhubarb and what did you use it in as far as recipes?

A flock of Hasselback Potatoes milling around waiting for dinner!

Hasselback potatoes was a menu item from the Hasselback Hotel in Stockholm Sweden.

The trick to making even depth cuts on the potatoes, is to put a couple of chopsticks on either side of the potato when slicing.
