Dry Canning Potatoes and How to Use Them--

[@growandpreserve]

There are lots of questions that need answers! I have posted a Part 2 to this video that will address dry canning options: fries, hashbrowns, a better mash, russets, peeled vs not peeled. How long do they last? How else to use dry canned potatoes? You can find Part 2 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laLWZqNnjKqaaNk

[@angelabaril104]

I have been canning for over 50 years and I was taught by my grandmother who began canning in 1906 in a copper canner over an oak fire in the back yard. I can tell you that this was years before FDA requirements. When you water bath meat it is for over 3 hours but I got my first pressure canner in the 1970's so I do pressure can my meat. You can use water bath for pretty much everything it just takes alot of time and you have keep adding hot water to the pot so the water never falls below the rims of the jars. Canned foods have been around for hundreds of years but pressure canners have not.

[@growandpreserve]

Happy to have you here, Angela!

[@patriciadille1755]

My mother hot water bath canned all her vegs. She never did meat because she said that has to be pressure canned.

[@annetteplourde8886]

You CANNOT reach the higher correct SAFE temperature to can low acid foods in hot water bath canning. You could actually boil the low acid product for a month without reaching safe high pressurized temperature ! It’s science.. Great great granny didn’t wear a seatbelt but we do today because it’s safer!😊

Can you do a video on all the things you talked about? I would really love to see it.

[@deborahjones963]

Ah great , the best I have seen

[@myrnahidalgo2271]

Since you only got seven jars instead of eight, fill the last jar with water and process with the potatoes. Then you will have a jar of sterilized water that you can keep with medical supplies for wound cleaning, and you don't waste that spot in the canner.

[@growandpreserve]

That's exactly what I normally do! Don't know why I didn't this time. Happy to have you here, Myrna!

Untested does not mean unsafe. I canned rice, butter, cream cheese, milk, dry canned carrots (and it taste so much better than the “approved” method. The first time I tried my rice I was scared but now I do not hesitate to use it. Same with other things. Do your research. This video was a excellent educational tool. Thank you so much. I have not tried potatoes but believe me I will do it ❤

[@growandpreserve]

You're exactly right! Folks often miss the distinction between "not approved" and "untested". I posted a video a couple weeks ago for canning Brunswick Stew. I keep hearing that you can't can Brunswick Stew. Ha! Even the National Center for Home Preservation acknowledges that there are so many different recipes for Brunswick Stew that they haven't tried any of them. Tell me about the rice. Do you just can rice, kind of like you'd can dry beans, or are you putting it in soup or something? Happy to have you here, Gara!

[@garaf1246]

@@growandpreserve hi there. I cook long grain white rice. I use 1/4 cup ghee as my fat. I “fluff” rice as it cools. Refrigerate over night. Fluff again before filling your jars. Use pints. Gently tap to fill jars leaving one inch headspace. Process 20 minutes at 10 pounds pressure for my elevation. When ready to use can add one teaspoon water and reheat in microwave. I love having rice available. Heat and serve. Please as always do your own research.

[@growandpreserve]

So interesting! Not at all the way I expected you to do it. Thank you so much for the reply. I realize now that I may have put you in a position to take some heat, and I am sorry for that. So far, I have not had any issues with bullying here, but I have seen it on other channels. I will do my best to keep it at bay. I am all for differing opinions as long as they are expressed respectfully.

[@jackieow]

@@garaf1246 With rice in jars there would only be small air bubbles interspersed and this would reduce your danger level. If it doesn't hurt the taste you could consider dry canning at 15 psi because that would give you an extra margin of safety. Even if you have already had any botulism toxin show up, the microwave might have saved you in the past. Too much heat or temperature or time is always safer than too little.

[@garaf1246]

“Rebel” canning, done judiciously, with sanitary preparation methods, following pressure and temperature guidelines, is something I’m quite comfortable doing. I’ve been canning for 45 years, mostly following USDA guidelines, but have enjoyed many recipes such as this, with no problems. I would never water bath low acid vegetables, but I know many who do. It’s a matter of choice. (As an aside, I laughed when you said you’d never can bacon, as I had just finished watching your bacon video.) We learn, grow, and learn new things.

These do look wonderful, however, the traditionally canned method is also wonderful. When you make mashed potatoes with the water canned potatoes, stir in a few tablespoons of instant potatoes when you mash them. They absorb the extra water the potatoes hold, and give them back the fluffier texture that you are expecting. We just love them. The red potatoes canned in water make wonderful potato salad

Great video I’m in the UK and new to canning, we can buy canned potatoes in the supermarket but they’re awful. I bought a presto canner from USA a few months ago, I’ve done ugly chicken and beef and they’ve turned out so tender. I’m going to try your recipe with Maris Pipers they’re similar to the potatoes you’re using.

[@growandpreserve]

Great, Carol! I’m so glad you’ve been able to start canning. It really opens a whole new world, doesn’t it? These potatoes will be nothing like the store bought canned potatoes. Enjoy them. And Welcome!

[@silver_threads]

I bought a couple of big bags of potatoes, planning to can them in water or broth, but this end result is so much more appetizing, and a bit easier as well. I'll be trying it soon! Thanks for sharing. I have had good luck with a couple of rebel canning recipes I've gotten from Amish friends. I usually keep those items for our own consumption, but so far they have been perfect. I think I could probably eat a whole pint of these potatoes easy! I'll be using quart jars for my husband and me, unless I find those cool 3 cup jars, too! Your new follower, Marie.

I am definitely going to try the potatoes this way, nothing worse than gluey potatoes. For years I never pressure canned anything. I would put the food into jars while it was boiling/simmering put the lids on turn the jars upside down and cover with a towel. Next day I would turn the jars up right and check to make sure they were sealed. I never had a jar not seal until I started pressure canning.

So glad I found your channel today! I do a small amount of rebel canning, but had never found a recipe for potatoes that looked good until now. I'll definitely try this! As for the USDA, in all my years of canning, my faith in any government agency has waned, especially with this crazy administration. We definitely need to do what feels comfortable to us as individuals, and I have adopted the "my kitchen, my rules" approach, that not only includes canning methods, but also the reuse of commercial jars. Think about it. We reuse "canning" jars all the time. If the product in the commercial jar was canned, then the jar is safe for canning, just so long as you use lids that fit.

[@growandpreserve]

Thank you, Carol! I really think you'll like these potatoes. So happy to have you here!

[@tomoverholt5123]

@@growandpreserve The problem with commercial jars is that they may not handle the long high temp which didn't happen from the original food processor who use other preservatives to help preserve the food without as much heat.

[@ladivamp]

Hi! First time ever I’ve seen your video. Just wanted to let u know (in case you don’t alrdy) that ghee is the lactose intolerant choice of “butter “ as the process if making ghee (very simple) removes the milk fats, the product that people are intolerant to, the lactose. It’s also keto friendly and u don’t need to use a lot. I made it a few times now. The last and best one was done by heating butter in mason jars in the oven on 170F til it separated with my assistance then ladled ghee off the top of each jar and stored the milk fat separately. Ghee has a very long shelf life also.

[@growandpreserve]

Thanks so much for the info! I've tried ghee before and still did not react well to it. Perhaps I'll give it another shot. It would be nice to have that as an option. I'm a little gun-shy to try it, but hopefully I'll get there! Thanks for being here, LadiVamp!

[@ladivamp]

@@growandpreserve try making your own and strain it really well to get all the milk fats out. It should be very clear with the golden butter color. Some people use cheese cloth but I just use pure white clean wash clothes with my little strainer. I actually had the best results from melting the butter (salted or unsalted doesn’t matter) in the oven on very low (I was going to preserve the butter in mason jars but decided it was too pure of a ghee to waste it) so I scooped the clear liquid off the top and it’s been the purest so far. 😊
