Easy recipe, Oven or dehydrator.

Good pictures and clear instructions. Cost my even be less than commercial "potato flakes".
If you want the longer storage life, the cost must include mylar bags, oxygen absorbers and a vacuum sealer
Since the storage life in just a glass jar is still months to a year, it may not make sense to go for the long term storage processing.
I use about 2 pounds of flakes per month, so a larger size box goes fairly fast. YMMV. Think of that as 10-15 pounds of raw potatoes per month.

Very much like we make powdered pumpkin flakes from our winter squash except, if you stop at the fruit leather stage, you have a tasty treat for the grandkids. That probably would not work with potatoes... unless you could fry them into chips?

The brand name "Pringles" is a baked potato paste. I wonder if we can buy a "waffle iron" or press designed to make chips?
It would be a labor intensive process, even if your press could make multiple chips at a time.
Perhaps they could be made like pancakes, using about 1/2 tablespoon of soupy potato paste at a time? I've made "dollar" pancakes like this, so potatoes should work about the same. Except you don't need the baking soda/cream of tartar to make them rise.
