This week's Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Fried Potato Crackers. These were developed by Dorie as a recipe to be like potato chips but not actually potato chips.
The crucial ingredient in these crackers was potato flakes, aka Deb in Australia. My supermarket didn't sell instant mashed potatoes (potato flakes), so what to do? A quick Google search and the preppers cam to the rescue with a recipe to make your own dehydrated potatoes - here's mine:
From three small potatoes, the yield was a quarter of a cup of potato flakes, enough to make a half batch of crackers. This exercise took 5 hours in the oven together with the initial prep time - you can't question my dedication to this group!
Sadly, the fried potato crackers that I made from the potato flakes did not do it for me. Discounting the fact that mine were slightly overdone, I still didn't like them that much - if I am going to expend my calories on fried food, I'll go for hot chips or plain old potato chips (crisps to the Brits) over these any day.
To see what everyone else made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.
Wow - that IS dedication! Even without making my own flakes, I found this too much for for the ROI (and I shallow fried too). Chips for the win!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness- you really went for it! i didn't want to buy potato flakes or do any frying so i skipped these this week.
ReplyDeleteI agree that is dedication. At least you learned a new skill. On to next week.
