Yum!  Wisconsin is a state after my own heart!  As much butter as I eat maybe I'll be forgiven for that Velveeta "cheese" comment .

Heh. It's no big effort to make it and it's good, tasty comfort food - warms you right up. I tried mozzarella and I tried cheddar. Mozzarella was the better of the two. Plus, you can use the same mozzarella on pita pizzas for another meal.

Hey that sounds yummy and might even make dehydrated and/or boxed hashbrowns tolerable for the palate!

Thanks for the cooking tips.

Handsome Bill, you must be a Canadian to go so far as to make (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) on trail.  How does your trail recipe compare to the stuff you get in Canada at restaurants?  Does the mozzerella substitute well for the cheese curds?

However you guys get your potatoes into Canada, you must try making Poutine. I made it for the first time on my last trip and it was amazing: make up some hash brown potatoes, fry them in corn oil, while they fry add onion powder, pepper, salt. Just before they're golden brown add chopped mozzerella and melt it in. On the side you should make some instant gravy which you'll pour over the fried potatoes as you serve them. Voila!

last trip, i bought 4 big spuds in atikokan and some onions and just roasted in foil in campfire night before and sliced and fried later on.
if you spread a #5 bag out between a few packs it wouldn't be that much effort for the quality of taste?
but, since this is  about dried hashbrowns, i got out my food dehydrator and made my own using the Simply Potatoes brand of frozen hashbrowns.
i thawed in bag in refrigerator and then spread on fruit rollup trays in dehydrator.
there "treated" so they don't turn color and i rehydrated them like Snow Dog recommended.
having eaten "boxed" hashbrowns, i think these tasted much better IMO.
worth a try if you have dehydrator??

In case you wanted to know, real potatoes are banned from Canada because they are concerned with a blight.  Potatoes which have been processed will not carry the blight.

They will ask you at the border if you have potatoes.  If you lie will you get caught, probably not.  But if you lie and get caught, you just bought yourself a lot of trouble.

Yup.  Dried is OK.  Only fresh potatoes will land you in the pokey in the cell next to PJ and his bagpipes.

I want to make sure I am clear on this, but you can bring dried hashbrowns(boxed) into Canada right?  Just not real potatoes?

Thanks
