Drying veggies today

Today is veggie drying day.  I'm actually surprised it took me so long to get it all ready and started in the dehydrator.   (almost 2 hours)
I started with cherry tomatoes and two large tomatoes on their last legs.  A green pepper, 4 or 5 mushrooms, a celery, and 3 potatoes (sliced and blanched for 3 minutes)

I'm going to vacuum seal them into canning jars.

With the potatoes I'm going to try experiment and replicate the boxed cheesy potatoes you buy in the store.  I have a bag of powdered cheese, and a powdered sour cream (not sure if I'll use that or not)

Celery

Tomato

Green Pepper

Mushrooms

At 125 degrees, the drying time as follows:

Potato sliced medium (mandoline) = 5 hours

Green pepper, roughly chopped = 7 hours

Mushrooms sliced = 5 hours

Celery sliced = 6 hours

Tomato sliced = 6 hours

Cherry tomatoes cut in half = 10 hours (and some were still a little soft)
