This year I want to bring a dried potato product to mix in with a scrambled egg and bacon-type skillet breakfast.

I see lots of people here use the hash browns-in-a-carton type potato and really like them so I will probably do the same.

However, I noticed a freeze-dried diced potato product on the Packit Gourmet website when I was ordering some other vegetables from them and wondered if any of you have tried them? I generally prefer freeze-dried over dehydrated when I have a choice but in this case it may not matter.

I have not tried the Pack-it Gourmet diced potatoes, but my family routinely eats the Hungry Jack or Golden Griddle dried hashbrowns at home, so why mess with a good thing! If they eat it at home, they will devour it on the trail.....

I also have not tried the Packit Gourmet spuds, but we do use the Hungry Jack hash browns. Easy, cheap and real tasty, especially if you add some onion and garlic.

I assume by appearance that Hungry Jack hash browns and those similar are freeze dried, not dehydrated, but I didn't find any statements to support that.

Thanks for the replies everyone. My local grocery store didn't have the little cartons but I did find a small pouch/envelope of Idahoan hash browns that should work great.

According to Amazon, they are dehydrated. Could find no info on the HJ website.

The Idahoan mashed potatoes are also really good!!!
