When What You Have Isn't Enough: UPDATE

So, we made the potato flour according to this blog. Tomorrow we will proceed with the Citron Kake recipe. I will post another update on the taste of our product! 


Here is our step-by-step on 
HOW TO MAKE POTATO FLOUR:

STEP 1: Scrub and steam potatoes until cooked through.
STEP 2: Lay potatoes out on a cookie sheet and mash with a fork.
STEP 3:  Bake potatoes at lowest temp available or use a dehydrator to dry potatoes thoroughly.
STEP 4: Grind dried potato in a four mill, food processor, or coffee grinder.


STEP 5: Sift ground potato through cheese cloth or flour sifter to get rid of meal.
 

NOTES: Remember that a lot of potato only makes a little bit of flour. The amount of potato shown above made about 1/2 cup of flour. It took about 2-3 hours to dry the potatoes all the way through. A dehydrator would work best and would need about a night to dry completely. We double ground ours to make it as fine as possible. We used white potatoes instead of sweet. Reds would also work.
