fundamentally, I can't understand why you are mad at dehydrated potatoes.You are happy to eat partially dehydrated potatoes (squeezed) but your don't want to eat potatoes that have had their water removed completely at some point and mixed back in with potatoes. It seems like a weird thing to be particular about unless the process of dehydration does something nasty to the potatoes.

>> No.17751148

>>17751102
I don't have a problem with dehydrated potatoes. As I've tried to say several times already, the fact that they have to add them to their potatoes at all is testement to how bad their main ingredients are. It's the McDonald's way. Use the cheapest, most highly processed ingredients imaginable then try to add back in as much flavor as you can after the fact.

Then you must not know many people at all.
First off
>dehydrated potatoes aren’t potatoes
Zoomer please.
Potatoes are literally the most ideal case for dehydration of any fruit/vegetable.
Especially since making hash browns with “fresh” potatoes involves putting effort into removing moisture.
You also seem to be ignoring the fact that “potatoes” is the primary ingredient anyway. You do understand that the order in which the ingredients are listed has significance, yes?
And that the two relevant ingredients are “potatoes” and “oil”?
And the “scary” ingredients are literally below “salt”?

>>17751148
>the fact that they have to add them to their potatoes at all is testement to how bad their main ingredients are.
Less than SALT.
Less than a fucking gram per hashbrown.
And what planet do you live on where dehydrating a potato magically makes it cheaper and worse than a regular potato? It’s an *added* expense.

Like most “ingredient posters”, you think you’re exposing some sort of truth-bomb, but have zero understanding of what you’re posting beyond “oh it kinda sounds bad to me so it must be bad”.

For a few bucks I can buy an 8 pack of walmart frozen hashbrowns (I buy like 4 packs though because I dont shop often) Toss 1 or 2 in the toaster oven for breakfast. Far cheaper than macdonalds, far less labor intensive than making my own from potatos.
