Canning French Fries

Welcome to Fyreflye’s Follies!
If you enjoy today’s video, please don’t forget to give me a thumbs-up! If you enjoy videos featuring canning, dehydrating and (mostly) southern cooking, I hope you will subscribe!
In Today’s video, I will show you how I can French Fries for shelf-stable storage.
Not everything I do is USDA/FDA approved. I believe in “MY KITCHEN, MY RULES” and I do not think untested necessarily means unsafe. If you are someone who only does things by the book, then this video may not be for you. It works for me.
I am not telling anyone that this is the way it should be done. I am only sharing with you how I do it in my kitchen. I have done my research and I am comfortable with doing it this way. I strongly encourage you to do the research and do what works for you. The National Center for Home Food Preservation is a great resource, as well as the Ball website. I have left a link below. There are also several groups on Facebook and lots of videos on KZbin to help you get started and find information.
When you are ready to cook, empty the jar, rinse, and gently pat dry. Season to your liking. Fry, bake, or cook in an air fryer until crispy and golden.
Feel free to leave a comment below. If you have a question, I will try to answer it or help you find a resource to get an answer from.

I never thought of using my apple peeler for taters. It was a "coulda had a v8 moment". Lol. Thanks!

[@FyreflyesFollies]

I actually found it by accident one day when I took my peeler apart to scrub everything and thought "this could peel other stuff!"... happy accident because I use it now for everything!!

Lol! Me either….😕😂😂😂

[@charlenefrench5404]

Okay I've been canning for a couple years now how have I not found you!❤

[@carolsyman5868]

When we dehydrate potatoes we collect the potato starch off the raw potato soak , dry it and use it instead of buying potato starch. Just another use from those wonderful potatoes.

[@FyreflyesFollies]

What an amazing idea!!!

[@salemthorup9536]

I like that you explain things well, but you're not too chatty. I like that we get to see a lot of what you do, but not tediously so. The music choices, IMO, are nice. I wish you'd show your face some. Just found your channel. I'm enjoying it.

[@FyreflyesFollies]

I appreciate that! I am not a fan of being on camera (crazy for a you-tuber, right?). I am a VERY big girl, and I get insults on my arms, so I dread the insults that will come if I actually do a video showing more than that. I have made a few, but always end up deleting them... maybe someday I will actually upload one.

you never cease to amaze me. just yesterday I was gifted 40lbs of potatoes.. I was truly wondering if they would hold up for french fries 🍟 plus i found another apple slicer at the thrift store for $3 going to take the slicer off an call it my veg peeler.. 😂 much love an Blessings 🥰

[@FyreflyesFollies]

What a great find!!! I do french fries, wedges, chunks, and new potatoes.... any way I can think of to can a potato that way they don't spoil before I can use them. It is so much cheaper to get them in bulk, so sometimes I spend a weekend peeling and canning or dehydrating potatoes.

[@chilenejoiner3000]

I’m short and use a one step stool to get my jars out. That way no burnt arms or slamming the jars against the canner🥰

Wow! I will have to try this next time I get potatoes! I just found your channel. New subscriber! Also new at pressure canning. I pressure canned split pea soup two days ago using my All American Pressure Canner that was sitting on a high self in my laundry room mocking me for the last two or three years! I finally got the courage to try and recipe in my never used Canner and it turned out wonderful!

Welcome to the channel and welcome to your new addiction!!

[@dutchgram3799]

Wow, I was so excited when I heard you say Veg-O-Matic! My father brought one home for my mother when I was a kid and I thought it was the coolest thing. My mother made fries a couple times a week for six kids so this was a time saver. Actually she ended up preferring a paring knife and cutter her own but I was more than happy to use the Veg-O-Matic so I did more often than not. Of course it looked different but what a blast from the past. I am going to do the fries like this. I have watched enough people doing the potatoes this way so I'm going to try it. I myself very rarely eat fries but I will eat one out of every jar so it won't be just my husband taking on the challenge. Lol, (sorry I shouldn't make light of it.)

technically, you cannot sterilize a jar in a home kitchen. You can sanitize them with hot soapy water and a boiling water rinse, which I do for all jars. then I either hot pack immediately or let them cool for cold packing.

[@gowenrv3762]

I wonder how the texture would be. I've tried canning potatoes using various ways. I have never been able to can potatoes and keep good texture. What I have is eatable,,, but you can not mash them.

[@FyreflyesFollies]

canned potatoes seem too starchy for mashing - they become gummy. I make PLAIN mashed potatoes then dehydrate them and break them into instant potato granules. I season and add butter and sour cream/milk when I reconstitute them. Works just like the instant packets you get in the store, but tastes so much better. The fries are actually great - think Pomme Frite...

[@homesteaderfiftywmartha603]

TY..I knew this was Doable!

[@FyreflyesFollies]

Yes, it is definitely doable!! and convenient!!

[@nanizon]

Did I miss you telling us what kind of potatoes you use? Russets?

[@holdthelovealways]

Yahoo!!! I love this!! I'm a new canner. Just a year. I also just started dehydrating. Love it too. Had an epic FAIL the other day Dry canning a bunch of dehydrated veggies. I put them in the oven with no lids at 225 for 15 minutes. Put lids on and back in the over for an hour and every thing burnt inside my jars. I dont know why.... I wanted to cry. I had 20 jars that is now ruined. That's alot of drying time, food😥 If you have any ideas why....please tell me. I'm still upset.

[@FyreflyesFollies]

when you put them back in the oven with the lids you should lower your temperature as low as it goes - usually around 100 or 125. They might still burn, even that low. I would suggest either vacuum sealing (if you have a sealer and attachment) or invest in a small package of oxygen absorbers. Then you can just drop an absorber in and it will seal your jar up.

[@momtodd1503]

I’m wondering the “why” behind choosing not to use hot water in both the jars and canner vs using room temp water? Thank you

[@FyreflyesFollies]

I have just always used room temperature water for canning potatoes. I try to always use everything at the same temp - hot, room temp, or cold.

[@caregivingwithlove3405]

This is simply genius!! And they look so pretty!! Do you have a potato preference or do they all turn out the same??

[@bleigh8793]

This is great, and I would love to try my hand at these!!! Do you think we could do sweet potato fries the same way? ... TFS! ~tina

[@FyreflyesFollies]

I have never tried, but when I can sweet potatoes they get pretty soft. Next time I can sweet potatoes I might try canning a couple of jars of fries to see how they hold up. You could always test just a couple of jars to see how they turn out. my first batch of french fries was 2 jars because I wasn't sure how they would fry up after canning. Now I do them 10 to 15 pounds at a time....

[@FyreflyesFollies]

One day when I was cleaning it after doing a bushel of apples I realized that piece came off, so then it was just a peeler. I have been using that way ever since. It is not a perfect peeling if they are lumpy, but it is so much better to slip a small peel spot than to have to peel a whole potato!

What can you do with the potatoes peeling. Why not leave them on?

It is just a preference. My "adopted mom: (who is actually my best friend's mom) will not eat potato skins, so when I was canning these, I made them so she would eat them too. I have canned them with skins on. I will say the skins fry up for delicious potato crisps, but in this case, most just went to the compost bin.

How long do you process for quarts?

[@FyreflyesFollies]

Process pints for 35 minutes or quarts for 40 minutes, adjusting for your altitude.
