Following my oldest brother through the door, we were all met by an amazing sight. In the galley, the benches are hollow so they can be used to store food. On the bench tops, there are small holes used for handles to open them and get to the food. Occasionally dry or canned goods will be left on the boat to be used on the next fishing trip. It had been a few months since anyone had been down to the boat, leaving the food unused.
Potatoes are a staple because they are so filling and so easy to prepare.
They are used in all kinds of recipes and prepared in various ways. Thankfully, there are other ways to store them so you can still enjoy those tasty potatoes in your food storage. Storing fresh potatoes isn't the best option with your food storage, but a tasty alternative is freeze dried or dehydrated potatoes. Metalized bags consist of a metalized plastic, specially made to enhance and maintain freshness. For even longer freshness, oxygen absorbers should be placed inside.
