Texas grown sweet potatoes will play a key role in Pacific GIs diets in 1945 with 2,409,000 bushels dehydrated to yield 20 million pounds for overseas shipment. Dehydrated potatoes are a staple on military menus, served about every ten days in baked or candied forms. Tests began in 1942 with American Can Company and Quartermaster Department collaboration on packaging.
