I've never tried it, but I'm curious to see how it goes. Sounds like it should work, but I think making milk powder sounds like it should work too LOL! Maybe try a small batch first.

So I have a new idea. I was just watching a Jacques Pepin video for potato leek soup and he used potato flakes. I am thinking of cooking potatoes, mashing and dehydrating on silicone sheets then buzzing up in the vitamix like I do annually with pumpkin/squash. Kind of like a dehydrated potato powder.
Has anyone done this? |

So far this summer I have dehydrated basil, zucchini for zucchini flour, rosemary, oregano, yarrow, tomatoes, peppers. Have more zucchini and tomatoes to do.

Thanks for the reminder to dry apples. I have plans for applesauce, but dehydrated apples are good in homemade granola cereal.
3 trays of basil drying tonight

Sara, that sounds like a fun project. Im excited to see what your final creation is.
Yesterday I made a bunch of sun-dried tomatoes with all my cherry tomatoes. They are so delicious to snack on.

It's okay but I need more 'stuff' to make it really good. Thinking more citrus & woodsy notes. The Epsom salts does do a good job as a binder for the scents. The next time I order my groceries I'll get a bag of oranges to dry the peels as I eat the oranges.

I ended up with 1 1/2 cups of dried 'stuff' so 3 cups total with the Epsom salts. It's in a qt jar and will be ready after 9a.m. in the morning. Will let y'all know how it turns out.
Tara, great job on your drying. Enjoy using your basil salt.

6 trays of oregano and 3 trays of basil. I can't give away the extra herbs. I will make basil salt and an herb salt. rosemary stems drying in the sun. I use the dried rosemary stems to lay on top of a roast or with short ribs in slow cooker
There will be a lot more oregano and rosemary in 2 weeks.

Thanks for sharing, Sara. That sounds like something I need to try out when we have to shut the windows for cooler weather.

That sound nice Sara! Let us know how it works.
I saw somewhere a potpourri simmer (allegedly Williams Sonoma) that is rosemary, peppercorns, lemon slices and vanilla I think?
Anyway, sounded interesting |

Drying rosemary this morning. It's not for cooking but for an Epsom salts air freshener I found on-line. Equal parts Epsom salts and any dried herb, citrus peel, spice, etc. and essential oil you want to use. Mix together and put in airtight jar for 24 hours. Put into bowl to scent room.

Nice Tara!
Heather in my book you do what works best for you! I do think it is interesting to see how others accomplish a project or task. I might learn a better way that way.
