This awesome little product is cheap and delicious. Don't be fooled by 3 oz its so dehydrated it makes 4 1/2 cups! I suggest you make it a home a couple times before taking it out on the trail... can I suggest one ounce in a FBC pouch? OK here goes ... its so low in sodium you will need to add some Creole seasoning or Salt and Pepper or Buttered popcorn salt to the bag. So boil the water add it to the bag wait 8-10 minutes in a cozy and pour off the excess water. The shredded potato will double in volume. You can eat it right out of the bag. 140-150 calories per bag.
As for the second step, I am on the fence for the trail cooking. The second step requires a non stick pan and oil to fry the shredded potato Canola oil adds an odd flavor as the shreds are already infused with oil. Deanna and I think you should use a vegetable oil instead. This would also require a spatula and 6 minutes plus. The shreds will stick anyway, requiring a scrape off now and then.

Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!
