Thank you for this episode! Perfect instructions that I can understand. Not being government approved....well, I'm 63 years old, and have lived through no helmets and pads on bikes, no car seats in vehicles, sat in the back of the open pick up truck on the highway at 65 mph or greater, and all the other things that are now non-govetnment approved. I grew up on home canned foods and homemade clothes. And now that I'm retired, and have time, I'm returning to my roots. We always waterbathed and used the glass with wire lids. But, I'm going to use your method!!!! Thank you again❤❤❤

I canned these over the summer and my sister used a jar while she was house sitting for me. She asked for a dozen jars of those “kick ass potatoes” for Christmas this year 😂

If the government doesn't approve it then I'm going to do it. Simple as that.

These were by far the best canned potatoes we've ever had! The flavor is far superior to the ones canned in water. I won't do them any other way now.

About the oven canning, I’ve done it several times with tomatoes. Worked great with no issues. For me it was easier. But I never tried it on any other food except tomatoes.

Just want to add a comment about your chopping method, if you add a clean damp cloth under your chopping board it won't move, hence you are less likely to cut yourself! Great video btw 👌

Just found your video and did not know potatoes could be dry canned. I have 3 quarts of them in the canner now! Thanks for the video!

My wife accidentally did the same thing with a couple of jars a few years back , we have been doing it ever since....they are great !

I’m so glad to see someone not add salt and butter. I didn’t know if this was required or just preference. I would prefer not to use butter. Thanks so much for sharing!

My only question to you is..........if done properly (I watched your video) is this method 100 percent safe.?

Thank you so much for this video. I have never done pressure canning before today. I especially like this method for potatoes, since other methods look as if they would be overcooked. I have nearly 90 pounds of potatoes from the garden this year, but I have been procrastinating canning. You have given me the inspiration to can them! I will complete 10 quarts tonight! Thanks again.

Oh and also something else, I think this is probably going to be the best method to use to can RUSSET potatoes. Russet potatoes don't seem to do as well if canning traditionally (with water) because of the texture of the potato (light & fluffy). And it seems that Ball recommends the traditional canning method (with water) for WHITE POTATOES and not Russet or even red potatoes because these two varieties will kind of turn to mush when canned traditionally with water. Just a note. Thanks again for the video!

Excellent presentation! Loved seeing how you tightened to reusable lids, color of finished product, comparison between regular method and dry canning method on taste test, etc. I tried the regular method and ate a few of them and eventually poured them out to make more room for other foods. I recently tried the dry can method and found the flavor better also. I tried them immediately after canning but want to try them again once cooled and stored a couple weeks. Planning a larger canning if everything works out well.

These look great! I’ve only canned them with water. I’m expecting 50lbs any day now and I am definitely doing them this way. Thank you!

One of my favourite potato dishes is Parmentier potato, I also make a lot of spicy potato versions. Most of the canned potatoes are unsuitable for such recipes, but these would be ideal and allow me to skip that miserable step of parboiling potatoes first. it seems such a great idea, I hope that it can become accepted into the safe canning realm, even if the instructions have to be stricter than conventional canning.

Great video - you answered a question that I've been searching for an answer! I was wondering how long you can store these in your pantry with good results and you stated that you have kept them up to 1 year. I have quite a few very large bags of potatoes that I would prefer to dry can (versus dehydrating) and I am going to give this method a try. Also - in the Ball book, there is a recipe for "herbed potatoes" and after cutting, rinsing and draining the potatoes, they "coat" the potato with the salt and herbs before proceeding to the next step (of course, their next step is packing the jars and adding hot water). You said that you found that adding the 1 tsp of salt to the jars just seasons the potatoes on the bottom of the jar. I wonder if maybe coating the potatoes (by putting the ready to can, drained potatoes in a bowl and sprinkling/mixing the seasonings on) would have a better outcome so that all the contents of the jar would be seasoned (instead of just the bottom). I hope that makes sense LOL I think I am going to give this a try and see if it works. Thanks again for the video.

Just now seeing this video. Was able to get 150# So have to process some of them. This video is great. Thank you

This was so clear and helpful. Thank you!

I just watched videos about this method by Grow and Preserve and Miller Meadows, and read the comments. Miller Meadows says to shake and pack in as many potatoes as you can- no headspace needed since there is no liquid. Especially it’s good to have less air pockets- which could lead to uneven heating. I am thinking of throwing in some onions and home dehydrated red peppers. I know that botulism needs a certain amount of liquid, I wonder how much. In any case heating the potatoes thoroughly when opening would destroy any toxin. Also, I have read somewhere that boiling water temps will kill botulism if continued for 3 hours. Make it Make deals with this kind of “rebel” canning in her videos. As always, it is your choice to take the risk. I appreciate you and these ladies sharing their experience for us to learn from. Nobody knows everything and life is never 100% safe, but there is definitely more safety in gathering information from many experienced sources.

@judykish1481

Great comment. I read in several areas that botulism is killed around 211 degrees. The inside of the pressure canners goes up much higher than that, so it will certainly take care of any toxin and sterilize the jars at the same time. Boiling water has to reach that 211 mark or it doesn't kill the germs. Next time I boil, I'm going to check the temp and see what happens. And I also learned that dishwashers DO NOT actually kill germs since they only get up to 155-160 degrees. I check mine, which is 6 years old and sure enough - only heats to 160. That was a shocker. You can use the dishwasher to clean the jars, but if I'm canning dry items like noodles (using a vacuum seal), I sterilize the jars in the oven (220 degrees for 30 minutes). So many in/outs to canning.

I'm going to try this in the fall.

I wonder if adding some salt and mixing it into the water before draining would more evenly coat the potatoes for canning? In any case I think I will do this. I planted 3X the amount of potatoes that I did last year and I know all of them won't make it through the winter unless I preserve them.

I dry can in the oven, I can both green beans and tomatoes that way and think I’ll try potatoes too instead of pressure canning.

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you. Sweet and simple.

I just did some russets just like this last night. After processing a few did change to a darker color. My husband says they look weird, I think that is how they should look but don’t know for sure.

If you like, you can sprinkle all if the potatoes with salt and mix around before putting them in the jars.

Do you have a follow up video...maybe weeks....months later? I hate the texture after water packing! I tried wedges... Hey were wonderful the next day I open them and they smelled like a buttery baked potato because I put a slab of butter in each one however after a few days the rest of them started turning dark gray or light gray and it looks disgusting but I'm not sure that I soaked them enough either. I'm curious about the texture and looks after so much time is elapsed and how to fix them.

This is not dry canning. It's called pressure canning. Dry canning is getting dry products like dry beans or rice and canning them in an oven to get a seal after heating the product up and them cooling them down. This is pressure canning without the water, but the product has an abundant water content. Pressure canning potatoes the way you are illustrating is the way to go. Get you a Presto Electric Caner! They are awesome, accurate, very convenient, and practically idiot proof with great results!

This is how I do it. They are amazing. I dont boil water in with them
