Unless you're really prepping for a long time of storage, it seems like a big bag of potatoes for $3-$5 would be a way better value.

Sealed storage can preserve it for a long time.

If you wanted dehydrated shreds though, then this would probably be the more comparable item:

The ingredients are identical except for the butylated hydroxytoluene added to the Auguson Farms can. The carton isn't sealed as well from air, but they'll last a couple years in an air conditioned environment, and they are a better value if you'll eat them in a couple years.

The box says "tastes better then frozen guaranteed". Why do I have a hard time believing that?

It's obviously subjective. If your favorite hashbrown is more hydrated like skillet potatoes, then you will prefer frozen. If you like crispier like Waffle House, then the dehydrated will be better than frozen.

Water is the enemy of food preservation. Removing water vs slowing it down via freezing.

Yeah. Sam's Club is a better deal. The Augason Farms are .45 cents per oz. The Idaho Spuds are .27 cents per oz. And the Idaho Spuds contain less sodium, but I don't want to buy another membership. I already have Costco, Walmart + and Amazon.

Honestly, if you are making hashbrowns with them, you'll probably want the salt for best flavor. It takes a lot of salt to make the best tasting potatoes.

Still lower cost and less concerning preservatives makes it a no-brainer unless you need disaster ready food supplies.

Not to poo poo this post, but this is basically the normal price for this can. I have these in the saved cart and price constantly fluctuates and goes up to a high of $13-15 then drops back to this price within a couple of days.

Not commenting on the quality, but do want to add perspective that if the price goes up, give a few days and it will drop again to this level.

The "Creamy Wheat" Can is also right now about $8 and change. I've never tasted it in Auguson but I'll give it a try.

Dehydrated Potato makes great hash browns, you boil them for ~5 minutes before you fry them.

If you are "waffling" over which can to try, go with the pancake mix. It's better than Cracker Barrel!! Thick fluffy amazing

Their pancake mix is the best I've ever tried! It's the only kind we use now. Better and fluffier than Cracker Barrel
