Don’t’ ditch the taste just because you’re backpacking Making your own backpacking meals is a great option compared to buying expensive freeze- dried or dehydrated meals. Many backpacking and hiking recipes consist of less expensive, basic foods that can be found at most grocery stores, such as dried milk, rice, or pasta. I came across this interesting snack when I was searching for backpacking recipes. At first I thought it was quite odd for a snack to be called Bark but after reading what Bark actually is, I thought the name suits the snack rather well. What is Bark? While working on food dehydrator recipes for mashed potatoes, I blended boiled potatoes and broth to a smoothielike consistency and spread the mixture thinly on dehydrator trays. The potatoes dried into brittle sheets that easily broke into what I call, "Bark." Potato Bark tasted pretty good as a ready-to-eat snack, especially Sweet Potato Bark, but with the addition of hot water, the Bark reconstituted back into mashed potatoes. I varied the flavor by blending the potatoes with vegetable, chicken, or beef broth. Why Bark? • When you cook and rehydrate Bark with other vegetables and meat, your backpacking meal turns into a thick stew with flavorful sauciness. • Because you make Bark from starchy foods high in complex carbohydrates, your hearty meal will power you up the next mountain with calories to spare. • Bark makes a great backpacking food because it weighs in at a couple of ounces per serving dry. Five kilograms of potatoes barks down to just 50g. • If you run out of fuel or water, you can munch on Bark dry. Bark will reconstitute right in your mouth. Pumpkin Pie Bark goes in like a chip and down like pie. How to Make Potato Bark: • 1kg of potatoes • 50g of fat free vegetable, beef, or chicken broth • Salt and Pepper to taste Optional: Garlic Powder to taste Peel and boil the 1kg of potatoes until soft. Drain. Mash potatoes with the 50g of fat free vegetable, beef, or chicken broth. Because fats and dairy products don’t dehydrate well and can spoil, do not add any milk or butter. Add salt, if desired, but you’ll get some sodium from the broth. Run the mashed potatoes through a blender or mixer until creamy and lump-free. Cover trays with non-stick sheets or parchment paper. Pour a 40mm puddle of potatoes onto the covered tray and spread thinly (about 20mm) with a spatula. Dehydrate at 135° for approximately eight hours unt il potatoes form a brittle sheet. After about five hours of drying, place a tray on top of the potato sheet and flip the two trays over so that the moister bottom side is facing up. The dried sheet of potatoes will easily snap into Bark or crush down for tighter packing. Yield: 1kg of potatoes will dehydrate down to 100 grams and fill two cups when crushed. 11 Jacana News
