I was cleaning out my pantry the other day and noticed that I have several packets and containers of dry potatoes for recipes like mashed potatoes and hash browns and scalloped potatoes. Any suggestions on using these as a base for a more interesting recipe?

Dehydrated or dry potatoes have so many great features—they are economical to purchase, store easily (as you have found) and are quick to prepare. A few years ago we actually had a contest called “What’s in your Pantry” and below are two of the winning recipes.
