So I don't think I've mentioned it yet, but I have a dehydrator. Nothing fancy, but did get extra trays. So a top with the unit in it, a.bottom and 8 trays. I've used it for beef jerky, apples, misc fruit, and most frequently sweet potatoes.
Yup, that's right. Neither my wife or I like them, but I currently have 6 large sweet potatoes, or 7 trays worth, sliced, blanched and drying on the counter at home. Washed briefly in the sync, sliced in half to have clean edges and used a mandolin slicer to cut them in approx 1/4 inch slices.
Then dropped them into boiling water for five minutes. After boiling for five minutes dumped into an ice bath for five minutes to stop all cooking.
Then drained, laid them out on the dehydrator trays, stacked the trays and dehydrated for 10 hours. Not exactly exciting, but we now have a whole OXO container of dehydrated sweet potato chips. No preservatives, no additives, fresh, natural and loved by the pup.
Makes me want to get some ground beef and make some jerky...
