Yesterday I bought a bunch of potatoes because it was the last day they were 30% off so this video has come in very handy. It's especially helpful because I'm a university student so I'm just cooking for one haha Thank you Prepper Potpourri! 👍

[@PrepperPotpourri]

You are so welcome!

[@ME2too2022]

As a univ student, you may want to just do the mashed potato dehydrating - and place them in a pan of water, stir to boiling, and it is the consistency you want.

[@jaymerose5097]

I love your ideas! TY. I’ll have to try the skins.

[@OldSchoolPrepper]

i'm so happy to see you teaching the real and safe ways to preserve potatoes. I do grow my own and can most of them up each year....I did read in the Fox Fire books one older gardener who said she would dig up the potato, skin it and then use the potato for whatever and then she's rebury the skins where she had dug up the same potatoes....she had a long long row of them, by the time she got to the end of the row then the beginning of the row had potatoes for her to eat! I'm sure she was using a paring knife so there was more potato meat on those skins...I think I'll give it a try this year. I just had a nice baked potato for dinner last night for dinner.....just the potato and toppings, it was wonderfl! Of course I do love eating the skin so that might be a problem...hmmmm

[@joylouise5417]

Thanks for these tips. Question: when you dig your potatoes, if they are for freezing, do you cure them before prepping for freezing?

[@jazzylyn5857]

In most of the world, outside of America, our real and safe way of canning potatoes is water bathing. 99% of us don't have a pressure canner. And... gosh... we even water bath meat. Shocker! (Just like Americans did before pressure canners became a thing, and the FDA told you not to water bath most stuff). We're all still alive. It's a miracle!

[@KellyS_77]

Never thought about making fried potato skins in the air fryer. I'll have to try that :)

[@TodaysBibleTruth]

This is very helpful. I would like to know how the botulism spores can hide from 240' temps. So far, all of my potato pressure canning attempts have produced less than tasty potatoes. They all have an off putting "canned potato" flavor.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I also am not a fan of canned potatoes but they work in a pinch in a stew or soup.. I prefer the taste of my home dehydrated ones.

[@lorrainedodds]

Wow what a great idea to preserve potatoes by blanching and freezing them!!!❤️❤️Thanks for this tip.

[@debbiekiehl9166]

This was perfect timing for me Mary Ellen - I needed to get after the remaining potatoes from our '23 harvest. I know how to preserve them - just needed to get after it! Your video gave me the nudge I needed to get my first batch taken care of today! Thanks!

[@jinglesh1398]

I totally agree with everything you said about potatoes. I have them canned, dehydrated, and freeze dried in different shapes, but have not thought about freezing them. But I do love mashed that have been frozen so they will be next. Thanks!

[@conniegwyer4580]

So true, always have potatoes go bad before using all since buying in bulk. Love all the different ways you showed us how to preserve them. Never thought of freezing. Do add an apple in my potato bin, which seems to help them from ripping to quite.

[@charlenequinilty7252]

Good job on video. Thanks for mentioning that not everyone does not have a basement or cellar or can afford a freeze dryer and that you need to follow safe methods of canning.

[@BeckyScottandDeviHenn]

I forget to blanch when freezing, thank you for reminding me! I love canning potatoes. Air fry the skins, brilliant, thank you!

[@kimgordon3695]

😮❤

[@710LENNY]

I found a recipe for tater tots and, yes, it was a lot of work. I froze them (made it easier to cut when ready to cook), and man, was it ever worth it. Also formed and froze some hash brown patties (won't use garlic powder again, will opt for onion) and they were great. I love your idea about the skins. I could probably talk my husband into making a full meal out of them. Thank.

[@decoy8645]

I knew about freezing potatoes but don’t think about it. Thanks for shaking the cobwebs loose.

[@samnjoeysgrama1]

Remember to find out your altitude! I'm at 8500 ft in the Rockies. Water bath isn't practical for anything. It would take over 12 hrs. and still be iffy. So although your sister in Seattle or cousin in Maryland cans for 40 minutes in the pressure canner, in Denver or Salt Lake City you will have a longer time. You can usually find it under "High Altitude Canning" in your canner instructions. Love this channel, really excellent info.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Very true

[@bayardoarellano5440]

Hello sister! It has been ages since I wrote to you. But the word potatoes on the title made me do it. Yes! freezing the potatoes is the best way to preserve potatoes. This video in English follow the South American style, yes Peruvian natives "CHUN~O", is the best way and they last few hundreds of years.

I put my potato peelings in the blender, with a little water, and make a fertilizer for my geraniums. They love it, and do grow faster, with bigger and brighter blooms!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

That's a great idea!

[@welchnet56]

Another great video!! Our family size has reduced to three of us, and it is a challenge not to waste food

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

Hello from my homestead in northwest Florida! I have a bounty of potatoes in my garden that I been harvesting for meals but soon will have to preserve or lose. I enjoyed your video, thanks! I am glad your channel and this video popped up in my recommended videos!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Glad you are having a good harvest

[@joyceterra2265]

I dehydrated 50 lbs of russet potatoes. They turned out great. So beautifully white. I blanched the mall cubes for 8 minutes, the larger cubes for 10 minutes. For hashbrowns I blanched the whole potato for 25 minutes and then shredded into hash browns. All were peeled. I was very happy with the results. They are beautiful.

[@patriciagraham4786]

I'm a big Mistake #1 maker. Thanks for sharing. I need to start dehydrating them.

[@jaysbaby2012]

I put my cleaned potatoes peelings in a dirty bag with other different scraps which once its full of the different scraps we've collected, we then boil a whole chicken or two and then pull that out and strip the meat off the bones and then put the bones along with the stuff in the dirty and boil it slowly over night, strain it and then can the stock and chicken meat in a pressure canner. Under no circumstances do I want to freeze any, I much rather can or dehydrate them unless it will be for everyday use. Thank you for sharing this.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Bet that makes a rich broth

[@lindaweber3083]

Thank you for this video on potatoe storage.

[@oldnanz]

Thanks now I know why I didn’t like dehydrated potatoes. I’ll be paying better attention to what kind of potatoes Thank you

[@Dindasayswhynot]

Ahhhh we baked potato lovers. Had one for supper tonight. So good. Picking up good tips and reminders from this video. Thanks. The potato issue I'm working on is way too many dried mashed potatoes. I want to find a way to make potato chips out of them. I don't eat Pringles due to something in them I'm allergic to but I used to like them. I think they are the only chip that starts as dehydrated potatoes.. I also would love to know how to make the wonderful extruded fries like A&W Rootbeer used to make. Let the search begin.

[@kittychronister3537]

Thank you for sharing what to do with those extra potatoes. We’re empty nesters and always have extra potatoes

[@profetal]

Great video! I'm on a homestead so I grow potatoes so these methods will help me. In Central Florida we don't have basements, digging into the dirt here creates ponds! LOL

[@cheffamy]

lol yes and every pond eventually it will have an alligator! Florida girl here too

[@JayP-kd5rc]

I watched that video you made a few years ago, and made potato slices like you did and dehydrated them. They came out beautifully. Thank you. You did a great job on the video. I never thought to put the skins in my air fryer that way, but I will now! Thanks for another yummy idea!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Wonderful!

[@GGsGarden]

Great video. 10 lbs of potatoes that I need to do something with. Have canned but did not want to can more. Turned half into mashed potatoes yesterday to freeze in servings. Have never dehydrated, may try with some of remaining.

I'm glad I found this channel again. I have been subscribed for a long time. I recently had to get a new phone. And and a lot of my subscriptions weren't on it, So I had to resubscribe. As far as freezing potatoes. I make baked potatoes When they are done I slipped them on the top wrap and foil and freeze when I want one I take it out. Throw it in the oven when it's heated up. I uncovered it and let the skin crisp up.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I will have to try this

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I will have to try this. I love a crisp skin.

[@vernabryant2894]

I will cook a bunch of potatoes in my Instapot.I make mashed potatoe and put them in a oil sprayed muffin pan.When they are frozen I put them in a freezer bag.

[@belindadunne4312]

Oooooo I really like that crispy potato skin crisp snack you shared at the end. Great idea. I just started pressure canning YESTERDAY, and potatoes are on my list to try next. It's helpful to know that russets aren't the way to go when canning. I prefer golds and reds anyways, unless, of course, it's a crispy, loaded baked potato. 😄 👍🏻

You can freeze baked potatoes. Just bulk bake them, cool completely, and freeze. They should be good for around 3 months, and if you have a vacuum sealer, they'll probably be good way longer!

[@PraxisPrepper]

Thanks for this video!

[@marmhamp]

What is the "dreaded black spot"? I had a jar of potatoes that were two years old, the potatoes looked fine but a black spot on top! And it still had it's vacuum!

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I was referring to if you don't blanch enough time, the middle of your potato slices can turn black.

[@ME2too2022]

The potato water can be used as a soup/stew base.

[@colleenjerns9239]

I best potatoes I have ever grown so far were from potato peels that I threw into my compost pile and let sit. They grew huge potatoes! Lol

[@barjrfarmandranch6002]

Mary Ellen I was given an entire box of white potatoes. I’m guessing 10 pounds. However I have no idea the variety. I can either pressure can or freeze. My main goal is to have potatoes for potato soup. Do you have a preference on the method I should use? Thank you for this video.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Either is fine. I prefer the taste of frozen over canned.

Some of those frozen (O’Brien style) store bought bags have oil on the product, I assume to help them brown when baked. Don’t want that type for dehydration. -First hand experience

[@gailntag]

I have to laugh because I just finished canning 20 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes. I used exactly the same method as you explain. And I wish I had seen this before I cooked and fed the potato peels to my chickens. Lol thank you

If your filling your jars up to the rib below the threads as demonstrated, you are not leaving 1" headspace. The rib is at 3/4" from the lip of the jar. May cause unwanted siphoning.

Wait a minute. You're worried about botulism when you pressure can, but you'll eat the skins for crispy skins? Please explain.
