A dehydrated fabricated potato piece for reconstitution into hash brown potatoes is made for admixture with dehydrated fresh potato pieces. The fabricated potato piece is made from a dough or potato solids (comprising one or more of potato flakes, potato granules or potato flour) with or without mashed potatoes. If mashed potatoes are used, they may be either fresh mashed potatoes or rehydrated dried mashed potatoes. The potato dough is sheeted between a pair of sheeting rolls at a moisture content less than 55%. The sheet of potato dough is then cut into strips and predried to a moisture content of less than 30%. Thereafter, the strips are cut into individual potato pieces, final dried to a moisture of about 7%, and may be mixed with dehydrated fresh potato pieces in a proportion of from 10:90 to 90:10 respectively, and packaged for later rehydration into hash browns.
