Canning fresh garden potatoes

[@BeeWOWdbyAprilLee]

My mom learned how to canned potatoes on her own. We had a farmer who let us pick his potatoe field after he harvested the field. We filled my pops pickup truck bed with potatoes. My mom was a single mom and this is how we survived. Once I get to my new place I'm going to start learning to can.

Thank you for making these videos....you bring back such precious memories for me of my family....it's been many years since I've canned but I have all the jars and canning pot in my basement....I think you may have just given me the courage to clean up my jars and give this a try ....thank you 💙🙏

[@cynthiafisher9907]

TheKatherine1958 The biggest thing you need to know is which foods are high acid and which are low acid. High acid foods can be canned in a water bath canner, but low acid foods(like these potatoes) MUST be canned in a pressure canner. High acid foods won’t kill you, but low acid foods will, if you don’t can them correctly.

[@TheKatherine1958]

Thank you so much for this video, and the previous ones on canning. I'd love to give this a try. Canning doesn't seem to be a 'thing' here in England, but to be honest, the last few Covid filled months have unsettled me as regards keeping enough good food in the house, and finding ways to preserve food other than freezing it. My 83 year old Mum lives with us and we have been on lockdown since the first week in March...we are being driven crazy about now lol...August 1st sees us able to leave the house...finally!!! xx

[@bettye444]

A lot of us in the States grew up with canning Mothers and Grandmothers but never canned a jar...until the panic. I’m in my late 70’s and I started last year. Started with water bath because I had my Mom’s. Then I bought a pressure canner and have canned up a storm. Not hard, takes a little while to get the procedure down, but it is worth it. Everything I have canned has turned out well. My biggest problem has been maki g sure the jar tops are perfectly clean so they will seal properly.

It looks like the supplies for canning in Europe are a little different than here in north America. I have seen quite a few canning and preserving videos from Turkey, Greece, and other Asia minor and eastern European countries. But how to can is the same.

Thank you for another wonderful video-I love your home and pantry. It is so warm and welcoming. This is a timely reminder, as I was just gifted some potatoes that I need to use. I also combine white potatoes with green beans occasionally. The first year I did this, I only had a partial canner of jars of beans, not enough for a full run. We had new potatoes coming in, so I put some beans and potatoes together in jars to finish filling the canner. I process for potatoes (time and pressure.) My family loved it. So now do this every year. All the best, Melody B in NC

@Paula Sporluck: Yes it does seem like it does cost more, but the savings are realized in fewer health issues from not ingesting all the "unpronounceable ingredients" added to "preserve" the store-bought canned products that are on the store shelves these days. Also, the jars and rings are reusable unless damaged.

@@WhippoorwillHoller. Now I have questions. Im wondering if you can help me out. I have a new Presto Canner that I used yesterday for the first time. I followed all the directions. I am at 500 foot elevation and I pressure canned at 11lbs. I used the ball book and unless I read it wrong that is what I thought it said. Secondly do I have to have my gauge tested? It is a new canner. I followed all the directions. I must have missed something because I was told that I needed my dial guage tested. It was at zero when I started and the canner was properly vented for ten minutes. I put on the weight that came with the canner. The other vent popped up. The dial rose to the correct pressure and I timed it for 40 minutes. Also I have a read somewhere that you are supposed to lift the jars straight up out of the canner but I can’t do that as I have a range hood that comes down a bit. So I have to slightly tip the jars to get them out of the canner. Now Im a bit disappointed. Help.

Mrs. Lori, I have a question about something on the potatoes. I can red potatoes all the time and we love them. i don't find the need to boil them as they are not really starchy, but I have canned Russets in the past and did not like the texture of them from the jar. They are grainy and mealy to me. My question is, by boiling them for 3 minutes will that possibly change the texture of them a bit so they are not so grainy? I would love to can some of them as we have a ton of them this year and we generally have made them into fries and put them in the freezer, but I would love to be able to can them if I can get the texture a bit more smooth. So, if I do boil them do you think it w=ill make them smoother like the reds? By the way, I love your channel and you and Mr. Brown are awesome, just like a lot of the people I grew up around in North Alabama.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you Dave! Red potatoes are best to can Blanching helps a little on the starch, I tell ya, I've got alot of canner friends that are dry canning their potatoes, say they like them better It's not recommended, but they say it's safe, I dont know, but I'm going to try some and see, Happy Canning!

I'm doing a canner full right now of russets that my grocery store had on sale for $1.00 for a 5 lb bag. I did three 30 minute soaks to get rid of the starch and the water was very clear after the third soak. (The first soak I did with a good splash of lemon juice.) I have canned Russets raw packed with chicken for a chicken pot pie recipe; they were soaked and they came out really good.

I'm trying your way. I didn't blanch my last batch, and they're gross. I won't eat them.

I canned some potatoes a long time ago and they were disgusting. Now I know why. Thank you for telling me about removing the starch. I am going to try again.
