HOMESTEAD PANTRY STOCK | Pressure Canning Potatoes

[@witchycraftsbyKJ]

I grew up eating raw potatoes as a snack! I still love them

[@tamarapeer7605]

5lbs of potatoes = around 6 quart jars.. + 1 jar of water for a full 16quart presto canner. You can add some onions to the bottom of the jar, along with your favorite salt. I use kosher pickling salt. Ball's complete guide to canning will have a recipe for canning up plain potatoes, Been canning up potatoes for over a year now.

[@cindiduvall540]

my white potatoes turned to mush..I think russet potato. how can I stop this from happening

[@tamarapeer7605]

@@cindiduvall540 for raw pack potatoes, which I do, I cut them up in 1-2 inch pieces and put into the jar. Sometimes I par boil them for a minute or 2, sometimes I forget to do so. lol But either way, It is what I do. Its been a while, since I still have around 6 quarts still in my pantry. Hopefully I will be doing some more up soon..

My Grandma always cut us off a few slices to snack on, with salt. Wonderful memories 💖

[@donate1sttt]

I've canned raw potatoes and never parboiled. I've never seen anyone parboil them. That's new to me. I soak rinse x3 day before and it's successful. The jars are clear and beautiful. Love your channel ❤️. Happy holidays it's 12/21/22. Try pressing potatos put it extra virgin oil & salt oven 450. You will love these, take out when edges real crisp. Lol Todd will live these!

[@J_LOVES_ME]

Hi! Curious, how long do you soak your potatoes? I wasn't sure if that was 3 days, or that you rinse 3 times. Thanks!

[@robertbedell3355]

My best results we're peel cut in chunks, rinse and soak overnight. Rinse and soak all day and rinse then can in the afternoon. No mush in the bottom of jar. Also 10 Lbs potatoes fills 7 quarts.

[@ldg2655]

I canned potatoes for the first time last year... Loved having potatoes “on tap” for recipes..

[@mio.giardino]

Canned potatoes are the BEST thing ever. I couldn’t buy those monster bags of spuds before but now I can and preserve every one without waste; it always irked me when we couldn’t finish them fast enough and have them sprout.

[@ebrightfamilyhomestead8173]

Way to go is right! We cheer ourselves on when we can as well, I love seeing the canned items on the counter, I always wait before taking it to the pantry. I just want to enjoy it.

[@The_Oracle_of_time]

Thanks for that 👍. And hi from England.

[@christyvwperry9423]

I use Yukon Gold and I soak in cold water after peeling and rinse them three to four times after cutting up. And straight into jars with cold water and salt. I get just a little of starch at bottom of jar but I just dump liquid rinse and put in pot with fresh water when ready to eat

Rachel you are so relatable and chill! I really enjoy your sharing/teaching style!

[@pk_paleo_girl4391]

I bought and canned potatoes for the first when the shut downs first started myself. I tried both salt and no salt in jars and prefer to can without salt. I love being able to have eggs and potatoes for breakfast! I found that the starch on the cooked potatoes give a nice crust when cooked in a pan with butter and a little vegi oil (so the butter doesn't burn). I want to can some more but I think I will wait until fall when potatoes are cheaper for the holidays.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

I don't add salt to anything I can. Quit many years ago when I learned that salt is only added for flavor and doesn't aid in preservation. Amount for that too low. It's easier to add salt, as needed, especially when combining with other ingredients. Some of those may already have more salt than is needed / desired. Especially for people on low sodium diets.

[@KatyInNH]

Potatoes and green beans canned together will be great! I am looking forward to that video! This is my first season pressure canning and I have canned both separately. My favorite way to cook commercially canned green beans is with potatoes in them. The potatoes do something to the green beans that makes them extra delicious. Once when camping, for potluck I made the green beans and potatoes. Everyone wanted to know what I did to the green beans to make them so good! My grandmother always did this so I just revived her recipe. Looking forward to all your videos!

[@ebonhawken574]

I just did my first batch of potatoes and canning. First time ever using a canner before. Wish I would’ve known about boiling off the starch before canning them. I just rinsed mine off and I have that cloudy stuff like you were saying. Oh well, there’s always the next batch. Thanks for the video, it really helped me.

[@dustinpotter8312]

The cloudy water in potatoes after boiling is not just starch. There is a lot of needed potassium in that water. You may want to do a little more research before you throw all that potential health away.

[@marciannaprice1882]

While growing up..my Granny would put potatoes in water bath canner..cover with water, soak for several hours..then we would spend several hours scrapping the peels off..then she'd can them. We spent weeks, it seemed, doing this.. Awww the memories

I am sure I will too...what fun!

[@cherylb.9766]

I just did this today and our process was just the same. I can't wait to find out how they taste!

[@larrylewis3573]

Dear Rachel and Todd, Just a few thankyous and compliments. First, from where I sit, and based on past experience, your potato harvest was good. Secondly, I was very interested in the canning of the potatoes. They definitely look good. In the future, let us know what they were like to eat- flavour, texture, etc. Lastly, I am sure many of us are following your plantings for fall and we look forward to seeing the results. Planting peas now for a fall is most interesting, and, if it works, extends the produce through the fall season. Many thanks for taking us through the whole process for vegetables and all you have learned along the way. Sincerely, Larry Clarence Lewis, Canada.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Suffolk Susie Next time with the grape jelly, pour it back into the pot, heat it up and add more pectin, boil it for a minute or so and test it and then jar it up and can it. Or freeze it and call it syrup.

[@lindah5910]

You're right, canning potatoes is easy! The results are delicious and you can make many dishes with the resulting canned potatoes. I raw pack my potatoes (I don't par-cook/de-starch) and my jars are nice and clear. What I do INSTEAD of par-cooking is to peel and cut the potatoes the day before canning then I put those in big pots filled with water and a bit of lemon juice or citric acid and stow the cut spuds in the fridge. Overnight the starch is mitigated by falling into the soaking water. I then drain and pack the jars with salt and fresh filtered water and pressure can process for 55 minutes. This also spreads out the job a bit for ease. About a month ago I canned 60 pounds of russets and Yukon golds from Costco. (I just opened a jar today for lunch and mixed the pre-cooked potatoes with butter, sour cream, home-cured bacon bits, and garden chives and it tastes like a yummy baked potato filling.) Thank you for sharing!

[@happydays1336]

Are the potatoes still firm after canning them?

[@terrihart2133]

Interesting

[@lindah5910]

@@happydays1336 Yes, the potatoes are still firm but cooked through after processing/canning. There is a tiny bit of starch that falls to the bottom of the jar and maybe scantly covers the bottom of the jar but that's likely cooked out during the canning process and mainly with the starchy russets. I've used them to make potato salad, mashed potatoes, easy slice and quick "fried potatoes" or cottage fries, the mentioned "baked potato", and others.

[@happydays1336]

Been watching a few weeks now so guess I’m a new subscriber 😅🤗... Enjoying your honest and straight forward videos. Been homesteading a few years myself and “dabbled” in canning as our gardens been kept small enough to manage and keep for fresh eating and a few tomatoes to toss in the freezer etc. its worked well around milking goats, building our orchard etc. This year we bought more “bulk” fruits and cucumbers and my Livingroom tables atm holding 200 jars 🥳... potatoes where next on my list coming up here as a local market sells 50lb bags for reasonable pricing. I’ve always bought 1 and by spring end up having to toss the bottom 1/4 😔. This year I plan on buying 2 and canning them. So TY for the well timed Videos!
