Ingredients

  • 36 ounces dehydrated potatoes
  • 1/4 cup granulated garlic
  • 1/2 gallon milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups butter
  • 4 quarts boiling water
  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese optional

Instructions

  • Start boiling water.
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, salt and pepper. Stir well until smooth.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 gallon milk, 2 Tablespoons Kosher salt, 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • Spray a generous coat of non-stick cooking spray in the roaster. Pour dehydrated potatoes in the roaster.
    36 ounces dehydrated potatoes
  • Pour milk over top of the potatoes, then sprinkle granulated garlic over top.
    1/4 cup granulated garlic
  • Add cubes of cheese evenly over the top if using. Stir very gently to incorporate the cheese cubs into the dry potato chips.
    16 ounces Velveeta cheese
  • Slice butter and arrange evenly over the top.
    1 1/2 cups butter
  • Turn roaster on to 325℉ and pour boiling water over the top. DO NOT STIR. Cover quickly and do not remove the lid for 50 to 60 minutes.
    4 quarts boiling water
  • After an hour of cooking very gently stir the four corners only to help prevent burning. Stirring will break up the potatoes. I typically turn the roaster down to 300℉ when the edges begin to brown.
  • Cover and check every 20 to 30 minutes to monitor. Avoid stirring.
  • After 1.5 to 2 hours the potatoes will likely be tender and done cooking. Turn the roaster off and keep covered until ready to serve.
