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.
