or yams, I forget which. In Mike Clelland's book of ultralight backpacking tips, he says dried sweet potatoes are great. You add a sauce to them, and everyone in camp becomes your slave to get a bite. I dried a bunch of them, but I have not cooked them up. He is pretty hazy on the secret sauce. Have others made a great sauce to go with dried sweet potatoes?

I dry up mashed sweet potatoes and use them in combo with instant potatoes. They are also very good added to stews….

Bob,

Mike mentions on page 122 on his book that he adds Thai peanut sauce on his. That sauce recipe is on the following page of the book (page 123). If you want / need the sauce recipe, let me know and I can send it as i have the book. I haven't tried this yet, but, it is on my list to solve this winter so I can use it next summer.

I cook them, mash them, spread the mash on parchment in my dehydrator, dehydrate them, run the dehydrated stuff through the blender to take the sharp edges off, then I'm good to go. So delicious.

Same here and I add some sugar, cinnamon, after rehydrating, sprinkle some finely mashed graham cracker on it and you have a kind of sweet potato pie.
