Alright /out/siders. I would like to dehydrate some food. mainly some mean mash potatoes, that would taste amazing after a long day /out/ right after you have your daily shit, sitting around a small fire getting ready for some shut eye.

whats the best option to dehydrate food such as mashed potatoes that isn't gonna rock the living shit out of my pocket book.

Also is it better to season the food while your cooking it, then dehydrate it, or dehydrate the base food then when you hydrate it again, add the seasoning? I'm talking fresh seasoning too, no garlic powder! FRESH GARLIC ONLY!
