They don't have a shelf life of 10-25 years though.
·
According to the directions, it takes 30 cups of water to rehydrate the full can. That's 15 lbs more weight once it's rehydrated.
·
To be fair, I can't find frozen potatoes in my grocers freezer section so maybe I'll be needing this sooner than later lol

Quote from cmassey84 :
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.
it all went into a couple Tupperware containers that I still have the lids for.

The first review that on Amazon says the directions calls for way too much water. Given potatoes are about 80% water, it takes 1lb 7oz x 4 = 5lb 12oz water to make 7lb 3oz of rehydrated potatoes.

Are people really comparing dehydrated food to normal food by "price per pound"? Good grief

lol.... I saw those last night and wondered 'what are funeral potatoes?' At that moment, it did not sound like anything I wanted to eat.

====================
Quote from cmassey84 :
"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."
.
Thank you for finding that. I read all the box labels where it should be for the consumer.

That makes sense for the potatoes, but thinking that items with oils would maybe go rancid pretty quick.

I too was not in the know about funeral potatoes. My sister in law insists on making "funeral sandwiches" with the whole Easter ham before anyone gets to the house. I remain in the dark where these names come from.

Way too many pronouns and without researching, no idea where they originated. One thing I have been thankful for and that is the Pilgrims allegedly had turkey and not something like bear. Smilie

I remember ordering one of Augason Farms' survival kits at the very beginning of COVID. As The Oregon Trail taught me, it can't hurt to make sure you have some food and water just-in-case. They got slammed with orders as apparently I wasn't the only one that had this idea. Took months to deliver. I pinged them two months in and they were like, "it's just about to ship!" It arrived 2-3 months after that, at which point I had completely forgotten that I had ordered it.

Haven't been in a situation where I have needed to eat any of it, so cannot comment on the quality. Having eaten MREs in the past, I would assume that's a good thing.

As a person who consumes this type of product regularly, it's actually used quite a bit in commerical establishments. when canned bacon first appeared on scene about 15 years ago, its stole was already used in most fast food places (mc Donald's burger king etc... why do you think you've never seen bacon being cooked anywhere) then companies started pushing them as pre cooked mini packs, like Oscar Meyer and even now Costco.
back to the potatoes....if they are like the other ones I had (orida) they tend to be salty. you can try an oversoak and drain /squeeze which helps a bit with the salt.
real potatoes take too long to cook in the morning.
