Learn How to Make Your Own Dehydrated Potatoes

Directions

1. 1
   To make the cheese sauce for the dehydrated potatoes, saute 1/4 cup shallots in a saucepan.
2. 2
   When the shallots are translucent, add 1/4 cup butter and melt.
3. 3
   Add 3-4 Tablespoons of flour and stir well. This will form a roux.
4. 4
   Add a bit more flour if it is too thin. Cook the roux until it browns to your liking.
5. 5
   Add 1 cup cold milk in small amounts at a time. This will start to bubble and make a sauce. You may need a bit more milk depending on how thick you like your sauce.
6. 6
   Add 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese and melt. Some people like a pinch of nutmeg to bring the flavor out.
7. 7
   Add salt and pepper if you wish.
8. 8
   Grease a baking pan and layer the sauce alternately with the dehydrated potatoes.
9. 9
   Add some cheese to the top, cover, and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.

    Uncover and bake another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and brown.
