Thank you for the heads up on temp etc. growing up in a canning family the actual canning process is crucial. Even the reminder to wipe the rim. Remembering having to eat 4 jars of applesauce in a week that didn’t seal is a good reminder!blessings to you both for all your hard work. We truly enjoy your efforts every day!❤

Do you cut through long ones into French fries and can them .?

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

I don’t do that. Have you tried that before?

[@Brenda-rx4wk]

@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska No, I have not. But I would think if you water bath them for just a short time . Long enough to give the jars a good seal so as not to cook them maybe...?? I believe freezing them would be more cost effective . I'm not sure how dehydrating would work without them turning color ?. That process is lengthy. Baking in the oven wouldn't take long at all. Or even deep frying . I make potato chips that way , I douse them with lemon juice before frying . I feel it keeps them fresher longer. I use a spray bottle and gently mix with my hands. Once done, I immediately salt them. Can't forget the salt. Lol I bag them up in big baggies. I use a straw to get the air out of the bag. I've been wanting to try to add a packet of ranch dressing to them as soon as they come out of the fryer. Use my big bread bowl and give them a good toss Oh my lord ! Now they would be the bomb. Don't you think. Lol I love trying to re-create foods. Saves money ! Especially snack foods. So costly these days!,! I love sharing my ideas. I love to cook , baking is my fav. Oh and before I forget. You should try the buttery ranch oyster cracker recipe. You can find recipe on pinterest. Oh my lord !! Im sure you will be making them alot!! 👍

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

@@Brenda-rx4wk Hey friend, water bath canning potatoes is definitely out. Only high acid foods can be water bath, canned safely. That leaves most vegetables and meat completely out of water bath canning unless they’re going to be pickled. These potatoes do definitely lose their structure after their pressure canned, but we deal with it so we can put it on the shelves. I’ll have to check out the cracker recipe. Thanks!

[@Brenda-rx4wk]

@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska No I haven't tried it yet. But I thunk I'll sacrifice a few potatoes and see how it goes. I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out.
