Anyone used potato flakes - Jan - 6 September 2012
I have seen a 25kg bag of potato flakes for sale, the packaging says that when added to water it makes approx 100kg of potato, any thoughts

Hotel sized bag, good fuind but i think once they are opened they have to be used within a week, so you either have to repack and reseal the flakes into smaller packs, or perhaps buy smaller packs to set aside??

how much is it my friend
RE: Anyone used potato flakes - Jan - 6 September 2012
Sorry i didn't see a price, and it may of been a 12.5kg bag, but rumplers.co.uk have a bag for £28.75,
I was in a chinese supermarket in liverpool where I spotted the bags.
Thanks for the info NR, Ive got mylar bags and OA's, do you reckon they'd be okay repacked this way

Jan,
Last time I was there there was a lot more than potato flakes. Rice, pasta, funny looking bits, funny looking animal bits, and other funny looking bits. Anything else worth the trip?
RE: Anyone used potato flakes - Jan - 6 September 2012
It was just a quick mooch whilst in the area but yes, loads of different spices in approx 500g or 1kg bags, Allied Mills flour in 20kg sacks/bags, not sure if its any good for bread though, will be going back in a week or so to spend a few quid and will let you know more.
Do you reckon the potato flakes are worth the effort, the BBE/use by date was april 2013, will they be okay sealed in mylar bags with OA's
Cheers Jan

Yes they are worth it. It may be worth making sure they are really dry before you seal them in. Where about do you go in the area. I'm a bit out of touch now and I want to revisit the area.

Thanks for the info SD, I went to W H Lung Building/Blackstone St, Liverpool L5 9TZ, off great howard st, there are others but this the only one i know
RE: Anyone used potato flakes - Skean Dhude - 8 September 2012
OK. Thanks for that. I don't recognise the name but I'll go there in the next few weeks.

they're good for adding to soup/stew etc to thicken it up.
