Is this any good? Legit question. I'm wondering if this could be used to make honey butter popcorn or chips.
Usually a box of dehydrated potatoes has a shelf life of only 1-2 years.

Wondering what the shelf life of the OP is after opening? As in, how long to use up the whole can?

"Opened products will last up to one year when stored in a cool, dry and dark place. When product is opened it is exposed to oxygen and light which begins the deterioration process (microorganisms need oxygen and air to grow). Please remember that for optimal shelf life, product is best when stored in a cool and dry location at temperatures between 55°F and 70°F."

Shelf life has more to do with flavor and texture, than actual food borne illness risk. It's also greatly influenced by how the food is stored. Moisture, temperature, air, etc. all affect the shelf life. The box didn't "lie", it's just the manufacturer's suggestion/recommendation for when their product should be consumed by for best quality. It's subjective.
Moisture creates an environment for mold and bacteria. Obviously, dehydrated potato flakes will have a much longer shelf life than fresh potatoes (which are about 80% water). Freeze dried potatoes (which Augason Farms also sells) have even less moisture content than dehydrated potatoes. One main difference between supermarket dehydrated potatoes and Augason Farms is the packaging. Thus, even though you may be enjoying those 10 year old supermarket dehydrated potatoes (based on your anecdotal statement), I'm willing to bet that ultimately they will not last as long as the Augason Farms (OP item) dehydrated potatoes, in terms of taste, texture, and spoilage. Especially since you've opened the container, exposing the contents to moisture in the air.
Of course, if food smells bad, looks different, the package has ballooned in size, etc. you should not eat it.
