Augason Farms Dehydrated Potato Slices Can, Emergency Food Supply, Everyday Meals (Packaging May Vary)

This is my go to brand for long term food storage items. The prices are unbeatable when they go on sale and the flavors of all the dishes I've tried are acceptable (tame your expectations on all these types of food). Package arrived in good condition and the integrity of the can was still perfect. I will continue to buy these one off additions to the storage rack.

Finally got around to opening one of these and was surprised that they are actually pretty good!! I added boiling water as stated but, let it sit for like an hour instead of 15 minutes, drained and i fried them up in butter and they were good and not chewy.. i eat low carb so don't eat potatoes normally but, was craving some, these did the job and since they are food for a year after opening, i can enjoy them once in awhile without them going bad.. these are better than what i remember the idaho ones being in the past, these are thicker..

I buy Augason products when they are on sale. Been doing this on and off for a few years now. Always been a bit of a "prepper", since I was a toddler it seems, haha (In my 40s now). I has served me well through power outages, sicknesses, unemployment, and even bigger stuff like the pandemic, and now... *vaguely gestures around* everything else that is going on. I've never been one to be without when anything has come up. I never did "emergency food" if only because I didnt have the budget. I would stick with typical foods and try to store them well. Well now I have a little more wiggle room in my budget, and with the on and off sales of long term storage (20+ years), I take advantage when I can. I remember buying some Augason eggs back in 2019 for $19. Today? $33-56 for same container, depending on the day.And so, I haven't opened this 1 lb 1 ounce can of potato slices.. sorry. I dont intend to any time soon. I am familiar with dehydrated potatoes and I tend to prefer them cubes up as potatoes can be a little rubbery. I expect these may be the same. I dont really care as this is for extra long term storage, and I have other canned potatoes and fresh to use first, as well as hopefully grow my own. But I wanted to shore up my options. Having some soups and such just adds flavor to other options used. I can add more veg, or a protein, or beans, or simply have some bread to dip into it. Or I can use as way to flavor something. I have a slew of reviews to write on various Augason products, and so they will all be pretty much the same: Super long term storage (25+ years), no matter what the weight, it will be stuffed into a #10 can (that reads, "number ten", not ten pound. I see that mistake in reviews). They keep sizes uniform. Next size up is a round bucket, next size up gets into the rectangular buckets. This is for storage that can be uniform, etc. So yes, you may buy a 7 ounce item that is volume wise that takes up a smidge of space, but it will be packed into a large #10 container. Just remember, all food products are sold based on weight, not volume anyway. All of my containers have been in perfect condition. Maybe one day soon I will try one container out and see how the product actually is.Everyone's SHTF scenario varies. It could be bad weather (tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms), could be illness, could be road trip gone wrong (you do keep supplies in your car too, right?!), could be unemployment, or power outage, or lack of transportation, or oven/fridge/other appliance break down, or bigger stuff like plagues, food shortages, supply chain issues, *cough WW3 cough*, etc. No matter the situation we all need some things to get by: we need is food, water, shelter, some hygeine and medical stuff, and so on. You dont have to stack "emergency supplies" but you do need to stack shelf stable food items. Buy a few extra things every single time you go to the store. If you get to a spot that you feel comfortable and have the budget, then grab the "emergency" items like Augason offers. I like adding it in and just forgetting about it.I give 5 stars because the cans always are in perfect condition, they have regular sales, are good about shipping items as soon as they can, have lots of items to choose from, and so far seem to be of good quality.

While these are dehydrated. I like to keep these in My pantry because of the high cost of food. They will not go bad and I can use them whenever I want. Very convenient!

Yes, there is a warning for California about lead and a bio engineered chemical warning on the label also. That could be part of the freeze dried process.Regardless, I also assume unless organic that all foods have chemicals in them (pesticides). I will probably die faster from a zombie apocalypse and another virus and or weather bf the food.I mainly have this bc I don't trust our government. I want to make sure that me and my pets are taken care of. Now, rabbit's can't eat potatoes, but I did just buy 🥦 and 🥕 for them and spinach will be on that list.Take the good with the bad. I mostly have veggies. I don't trust fruit too much esp considering how expensive that is.For the long shelf life can't be. I also will be buying extra bc I do have to try everything I eat at least once. I made a mistake one time with some long shelf like Alfredo noodles and got diarrhea.So, I always need to know how my body reacts. You also want to like what you eat.

Let me tell you, I'm a potato casserole fanatic, but the prep work? Ugh. Peeling, boiling, slicing… it always felt like a marathon before the actual meal. Then I discovered Augason Farms Dehydrated Potato Slices, and my life changed!Seriously, these are a game-changer. I just pop open the can, add water, and in five minutes, I've got perfectly rehydrated potato slices ready to go. I was skeptical at first, but honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between these and fresh potatoes in my casserole. They tasted just as good, maybe even better because they were so easy to work with!And the price? Amazing! I'm always looking for ways to save time and money in the kitchen, and these potatoes deliver on both fronts. Plus, knowing I have a can or two tucked away gives me peace of mind for emergency situations. They're also fantastic for prepping a pantry! I feel so much more prepared knowing I can whip up a hearty meal anytime, even if fresh produce isn't readily available.I've even started using them for regular weeknight meals. They're so convenient, especially when I'm short on time. I can see how they'd be perfect for camping or backpacking too. No mess, no fuss, just delicious potatoes whenever I want them.
