Watched this video again, and then walked into my kitchen and canned 7 quarts of potatoes. I was nervous but got through it and now have my first 7 quarts of potatoes. Thank you!
I watched these videos years ago, my hubby just rolled his eyes. So this year he bought me a pressure cooker, blender, and food processor because I planted a huge garden. Just start doing it, your loved ones will catch up. 👍❤
@James Smith by far and we never had anything else until some things changed and I didn't have anywhere for a garden. I did grow little bits of what I liked in buckets, etc.
The world has changed so much and as much as they love homegrown, it's not in their cards but they did learn to cook like me pretty much and will still call sometimes to ask a question. The oldest is some sort of mgr over an ER and his wife is a nurse in another ER and she's in critical care. All their extra time goes to the TWINS 🤗😁 BOY/GIRL AND THEY'LL BE 2 IN AUGUST!
Both my mom & grandma canned potatos, My kids loved them when I'd fry them up for brunch or even if I got home from work late. Very quick & easy. My mom was always going to show me how but she died very unexpectedly. You can't possibly know how happy I am to find an easy video on Potato Canning. Thank You!
Lolo Holmes, ALWAYS remember, the Lord will guide you in the direction you need to go especially when you no longer have parent's he will never leave you
You are correct in that you don't need to sterilize the jars nor lids before water bath nor pressure canning. The reason you put the jars in the oven is to heat them so they are at temperature and don't crack when you add the hot water to the jars. If you are having trouble with the jars cracking in the canner, try preparing one jar at a time instead of all seven at once like you did in the video. What I mean is take one jar out of the oven, add the potatoes, salt and water, wipe the rim, add the ring and lid, and put that jar in the canner...then repeat with the next jar. I'm thinking your jars are cooling down too much. P.S. You should put the lids in hot water to soften the"rubber" not to sterilize them and you don't have to heat the rings unless you live in Minnesota and your room temperature is 40 degrees as you don't want to shock your jar. We rarely have that problem here in Phoenix AZ. Great video! Your son is right, you should be making these videos, not just for us, and not just for your kids, but for all of your generations that follow. They will have a record of who you are and how you lived, kind of like the journal you keep at the Tent. God bless you and I look forward to each new video.
@@samantaburgin7884 in the comment above I'm speaking specifically about sterilizing your jars. When sterilizing your jars it doesn't matter what vessel you use.

Great video. I just got my first canner this year. I canned a few things but I am still in the process of learning. I am hoping to can some sweet potatoes in the near future. They were down to 25 cents a pound a few weeks ago but have since went up in price. Hopefully they will come down for Christmas. Boy I must be getting old, instead of fast cars, cheap beer and parties I have gotten into gardening, canning, micro brew and relaxing!

THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT THAT I CAN GIVE IS THIS. "I CAN DO THAT" AND "I AM GONNA DO THAT" THANKS FOR SHARING BROTHER. I AM GOING TO FORWARD THIS VIDEO TO A NEW CANNER FRIEND OF MINE ALSO GOD BLESS MERRY CHRISTMAS
Thanks Contreeman. Get that canner out and can some up, the hardest thing about canning potatoes is deciding that your going to do it lol. Thanks again. Joe
Love the video! I appreciated how painstakingly you went through the process of sanitizing everything! My wife has scoffed at my attempts to 'prepare' for what history tells us will happen...follow your gut...
Yes the veggies are fantastic, and building a "rack" to hold them, in the kitchen, gives you a ready made inventory of what you have, and what you need. Good job!
@@conniecraddock1073 I think it comes from generations back. My Grandmother never did, and my Grandad had a healthy backyard garden. She canned many years. But she was meticulous when she canned. The rings were taken off, dried with paper towels, then the top of the jar got the same treatment. They she applied a thin coating of vegetable oil, to the rings and replied the rings.
I love that you've kept the canning process simple. I do the same pre-canning technique when I do fruit and it always turns out really good. I don't presently have a pressure canner so can't do vegetables yet, but when I do, I will be following your method. Thanks for showing how easy it can be. :) Also, for those of you wondering why the rings were removed... probably to save on buying rings. They are not essential once the jars have cooled because the lids are what keeps the product "canned" and the rings are only necessary until that process is finished. Then they can be removed and used to can something else. If you like the look of having rings on your jars, leave them on and buy more when you want to can more. Hope that helps explain that. :)
Take the rings off so your lid (and ring) won’t rust from trapped moisture. Rusted rings are hard to get off, you can break the jar. You can reuse the rings many times, just purchase new lids (people here call them flaps).
Rings can hide when lids aren't properly sealed, or become unsealed. It's safer to remove rings so you know your canned items are still in good shape and not spoiled 😉
I have taught my grandson how to can. He is 9 now. It is so nice to see a man can. He is getting old enough now and due to public school and peer pressures he seems to think only women can. Can hardly wait to show him your video.
Thank you for showing a demonstration on an electric stove! I was stressing about moving the pressure cooker and adjusting the heat. Thank you so much! (Had one explode in my house when I was little and well, they scare me because of it.)
After watching your video a few weeks ago, I finally got busy and canned me some pints of potatoes. I did 8 pints of diced potatoes and 8 pints of sliced potatoes. I hope that if the SHTF happens, I will be better prepared than I was before I started this chore. I like the way they looked when removed from the canner and cooled a bit. They will remain on my table until tomorrow or even Saturday, to allow me to be sure they are sealed and will remain sealed after removing the rings. I thank you for this information and hope others take your cue and start prepping for whatever they may need to be prepping for. Thanks again.
Thank you Sharon. Make sure you open one up and fry them in a little oil and butter. They taste different than if you would have just fried fresh potatoes. When the potatoes start to crackle and are getting browned they are done. I LOVE the taste of canned fried potatoes. That is the main reason I do it. Give them a try.
@@JoeandZachSurvival Thank you for that tip. I have eaten those from the store that are canned but I figure these will have a different taste, as I packed them with Love. lol Thanks again. I will let you know how we like them, if when I open them up, remember to do it. lol Have a great weekend.
@@JoeandZachSurvival I tried a jar yesterday. I had a jar that didn't seal, and instead of cluttering the fridge up more, I made them for supper. They were amazing. So much better than those in a can from the store and we both liked them. Thanks again for the video. I always look forward to videos we can learn from, and when it comes to food, we are easy to please too. Thanks again.
@@wvbonbonqueen I have never tried potatoes that were home canned in glass jars but I never liked the ones from metal cans in the grocery store because they tasted funny to me so I always stuck with fresh or frozen. I would guess though that since glass is a nonreactive material it wouldn't impart off flavors after storing for a while the way metal cans do with some foods or beverages.
@@sabrinazakrowski1399 The ones in jars do not taste the same, not to us anyway. I did mine just incase the electric goes off, I wouldn't have to worry about the freezer, and what was in it. I too dislike the taste of them for cans, but the ones in jars are a different taste from those in cans. Good Luck if you try them. I like learning new ways to store our foods and this was a great one to me.
One of the best canning videos I've seen. So many of the women yak too much. I love your "no-nonsense" approach and your brevity! Thanks! I just started canning last summer when it suddenly hit me that if the power goes out - all my wonderful veggies from the garden would go bad! So now I'm canning everything - including meats and chicken!
One thing you may like that I do for "The Tent" (my cabin) is can butter. I have videos on it and it is simply a great idea. No more refrigeration needed. Thank You Connie. Joe
Awe, Connie Hays, This is toooo funny!! A woman calling other women out on yakin' too much!!! I love it!!! Me woman hear me roar, then shut up!!! Lmbo!!!
@@JoeandZachSurvival Nice to see a man getting in on the canning action. My husband has learned from me and sometimes buys things that are on sale and I get home and find chili, soups, and all sorts of wonderful things canned - without any effort on my part! My male ancestors would be horrified to find this out...
Connie, maybe next time you can be a bit rude with your comments. I will never understand why anyone would want to sit and watch videos that they do not like. Could you explain that to me? Or do you sit and watch videos that you do not like just so you can have something bad to say about them? What has happened to civilization? Very few are civil these days.
Lol I agree with you Connie. There definately are some yakers, men included too. I like socializing like everyone else but when its time to learn its time to be serious and non distracting.
Thanks for demonstration. You explained the canning process really well. I use the German Weck system, the principle of which, is the same. Great to see how you guys do it in the states. Thanks again.
I haven't seen potatoes canned either , was surprised to see 40 minutes. However I'm looking forward to canning the baby potatoes from our garden. The small ones always go bad first. Good video 😁
Wow! Thank you for this video. I'm planting my garden now, I have about twelve potato plants, wasn't sure how I wanted to store them, I will definitely do this. I never thought about canning potatoes, I simply stored them in a box on the floor of my garage. I like this better, especially the part about the eyes, at that point the potato is done for. Thanks ☺
We have a saying at our house -- "It ain't goin' to the fair." That means, like you, we can to eat, not to look. If it's going to the fair, we make them look pretty cause that's what wins at the fair.
Love this video for canning potatoes. This is my first year canning. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. You made it look so easy and that anyone can do this.
How did it all work out Anna? I tried before, but they went bad fast, because I didnt know it had to be a pressure pot. I never tried again and only stick to sugar recipies, but am now ready to try potatoes again. ♥️🇨🇦
My late partner taught me to can years ago. I have since purchased my own canner two years ago. This is a great video. Simple and concise. Thanks for the info and the memories.
Thank you for the video and letting us know that a 10lb bg makes about 7 quart sz jars. Big help on knowing how much supplies to buy per bag...just now bought 70lbs and now know how many jars I'll need
Never remove the rings until completely cooled, accidents happen. Been canning for 48 years ... Also the salt is a preservative so use 1 tsp to a quart .. Don't take chances with botulism .. 👍✌👀🌟
Greetings in Jesus name our Lord and saviour, are you interested in hearing about the Gospel of Jesus Christ who died for our sins so that we can go to Heaven when we die. Jesus is the son of God and God himself who came in the flesh and became the sacrifice for our sins. Originally man lived in pure happiness in a paradise garden In Heaven but we disobeyed God and as a result we were cast out of paradise, but because God loves us so much he made a way for us to go back into paradise so that we can live with him for eternity (forvever) in true happiness and joy where there is no more pain, suffering and death. Jesus is our lord and savior who came to die for our sins so that he can give us eternal life and save us from Eternal punishment in Hell Fire? Here is a prayer you can say if you would like to receive him as your Lord and saviour. God Jehovah loves us so much that he sent his son to make a way for us back into paradise. Here is a pray that you and others can say to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour. Father in Heaven I receive your son Jesus as my Lord and saviour, I confess my sins and I ask you to forgive me for all my sins, wash and cleanse me and everything pertaining to me with the blood of your son Jesus and wash away all my spots, blemishes and wrinkles with the blood of your son Jesus. Father God in Heaven, fill me with your holy spirit every moment of my life and always give me infinite oil for my spiritual lamps even until the end. I forgive and release all those who have done me wrong and I ask you to bless them and write my name permanently in the lambs book of life in Heaven, in Jesus name I pray amen. Here is another prayer to break curses in your life. Father God in Heaven I break and loose myself and my family from all curses going all the way back to Adam and Eve and I bind every demon and demonic influence in my life and in my family life permanently in Jesus name. I command all demons in my life and in my family life and those around me to leave and never return in Jesus name. Father God send your legions of Angels to fight for me until the end and send your ministering angels to keep ministering to me and always guide and protect me from all evil, I command Satan to get thee behind me in Jesus name I pray amen. Pass this message to all. If you want to know more about Jesus, study the KJV Bible. Jesus bless you.
I am a 40 plus year canner. Can potatoes and carrots or any root vegetable without water.....trust me....they turn out just like roasted instead of starchy, mushy and watery! Just cut up....rub very lightly with melted butter or olive oil....add salt and pepper. Process 40 minutes at whatever pressure your altitude requires. They turn out just fantastic.
Great video! I love your no nonsense approach, lol. My mother used to say it was better not to peal the potatoes because most of the vitamins were in the peal. I don't know if it's true but I love the taste of them. What a lovely display of canned goods... great job!
@Glen, me too. It's been so long ago tho I've forgotten. I remember us shelling peas. But Granny didn't like us in the kitchen with the old pressure coolers. I do remember booking the lids and jars tho.
Great video. Very informative. I remember growing up Mom canning things in the fall when it was chilly outside. It was a lovely warm feeling in the house.
I know this is an older video, but thank you for keeping it up! I get "healthy foods" money with my Medicare and I bought 10lbs of potatoes to can today. I did it last year too, and we used them all winter long. I love that you keep the skin on the potatoes. I do too, so many people don't. I also use Gold Potatoes because I find that they hold up better in the pressure canner. I hope you are doing great!
Hey Joe still healing from this shattered femur so I'm going to can up a bunch since I can't do anything else this will be my second batch just boning up on it again!
Great canning video! Not sure if you are aware, according to USDA, you are no longer required to simmer canning lids. The sealing compound is a little different, and simmering them could cause it to fail. Just put them on your jars as you go along.
Awesome video, very well done!!! 1st time viewer, gonna sub., I like how descriptive and well spoken you were. I am hard of hearing and so if I cannot see the person speaking it makes it difficult for me to understand, but I did not have the problem with your video and you gave very detailed and informative instructions and information on how to do things and why!!! I look forward to future videos and looking back at you other videos as well. Thank you so much, you have been a huge help to me!!! I just received about 40 lbs of potatoes about 20 lbs of persimmons, 6 heads of cabbage and about 30 lbs of carrots I'm going to can. I can't wait!!!
Thank you for the very nice comment and welcome. I have a video I have not edited yet and posted, it took me all year (growing season) to make it and your the first to hear about it. Its going to be called "The life cycle of a Potato". I have an onion video just like it I did a couple of years ago and it has helped many people. I hope this one does the same. Thank you again and make sure you comment when you can. Joe.
JoeandZachSurvival You're most welcome. I look forward to this new video and I will look up your onion video and watch it. This is awesome as are you and your videos. God Bless you and yours, and keep up the good doings! All of my love to you and yours!!!
Gabriel Watkins It is my understanding that it is just a preference, some people do leave te ring on and some don't. I think if you take the rings off and the jar loses it's seal at any time you will definitely know without any false readings or checks, whereas if you leave the rings on but the seal is faulty the ring may yet hold it tight enough as to not allow the lid to rise up and give it's "tell" when you get the little bump rise in the middle of the lid that gives and makes a little popping or sometimes boing sound,giving you a false sense of the jar is still good, IF you make a pot of stew not being able to tell the jar lost it's seal, anyone who eats the stew could get botulism poisoning, due to all of the ingredients making the off flavor the potatoes would have
@@redbearalaska2416 , I would do the hunting gutting in cleaning and my x would do the canning. Moose meat canned dosen't look that Appetisin after even a year on the shelf but tasted really good in soups and stews.
Just a little hint, when pressure canning, my All American canning book, says you do not have to sterilize your jars or lids.. they will sterilize while being pressure canned...saves you time...
I thought you had to heat the sealer cap to help it seal better. Is the book called All American canning book and does it cover canning and preserving? thank you for any input Marianne.
Hi Johoney54, it doesn’t hurt to heat the sealing caps first, but it’s not necessary. When canning something at 240 degrees for 40 minutes, the caps will get plenty hot for sealing. The All American book that I was referencing is a book that comes with the All American Pressure Canner when you purchase it. It has manufacturer recommendations according to FDA standards and plenty of recipes and canning instructions. I’ve used many different canners over the years, but find I love my All American the best! ❤️
Loved your video Joe. I don' t have a pressure cooker but I have been canning using the water bath method. Your video makes me want to go out and get a pressure cooker. We have to be self sustaining especially as mean as the world is getting.
My husband purchased me the pressure cooker last year, the electric one and I’ve since read they aren’t safely approved for canning. I’ve canned green beans, purple hull peas, butter beans and pickles and we haven’t gotten sick yet, they’ve been great. I’m leaning towards a pressure canner this year so I can can more at a time.
what a talented man you are Joe I was watching a video were your polishing stones and now your canning potatoes I a learning from you thank you I must say I am a little scared of the preasure cooker my friend had one explode on her and was in hospital for a long time Mae from Oxford England
I've canned jam & pickled green beans before & always used the water bath method. Using a pressure cooker scares me!! I guess I've heard to many bad stories about them exploding. :(
@@khouston1965 they will only explode if you block the release valve and not turn down the heat. once it starts to vent steam just turn down the heat and let it do its thing. i even cook stews in mine. quick and delicious.
thank you! I always do the jars one at a time--fill it, wipe it, seal it, then set it into the canner with the boiling water; that way, each jar has a better chance to avoid bacteria from the air getting onto it. I've canned bear meat, cheese, butter, and soup, as well as the usual fruits, etc.
awesome. I am just now preparing my garden plans for next year and I really look forward to starting canning and preserving. Where do you live? Bear meat? lol. Have a blessed day Jeans Roses.
Just a tip, soak your cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes and bleed out the starch. I do this before cooking mine and my potato salad and mashed potatoes are 5 star. They’re different because it’s not about ingredients or seasoning... the potatoes are “different” and the flavor is more “clear/ crisp” if that makes sense.
I've always wondered how "canning" was done at home. I Looks simple enough but is probably not as easy as it looks. You have quite a stock of canned goods in your storage. I am also impressed that a man is showing us how this is done when I've always thought it would be a woman's thing. Thank you for this interesting video, it is especially important now we are in the grip of the Covid-19 pandemic.
never knew you remove the rings once the items are caned... wow learn some thing new everyday.... yet another grate video thank you for sharing it with us....
@@blaineclark they WHAT?! 😨😨 Here I thought I knew all about mice... ! -- Anyway, maybe it would work to leave the rings on fairly loose, just to protect, so as not to create a false seal? Huh.
Watched this video again, and then walked into my kitchen and canned 7 quarts of potatoes. I was nervous but got through it and now have my first 7 quarts of potatoes. Thank you!
How were they?
I just bought a pressure canner, and just canned 12 quarts of Chicken.
I have used a water bath canner for other items.
Congratulations to you .
Arizona Mountain Woman is the oven method really safe to sterilize? Just bought a canner online this week....
@@Noahsoak NO. It is not. Heat moves through the glass differently with air than with water. Check the USDA site for safe canning practices.
I watched these videos years ago, my hubby just rolled his eyes.
So this year he bought me a pressure cooker, blender, and food processor because I planted a huge garden.
Just start doing it, your loved ones will catch up. 👍❤
It was a long time before either of my sons would eat canned food from the grocery store because they'd only had home canned all their lives.
@James Smith by far and we never had anything else until some things changed and I didn't have anywhere for a garden. I did grow little bits of what I liked in buckets, etc.
The world has changed so much and as much as they love homegrown, it's not in their cards but they did learn to cook like me pretty much and will still call sometimes to ask a question.

kantwinnada Oh, the dreaded bubbles! Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for the tip, I have never done this but I would like to try it. How long do the potatoes last in the jars? Thanks.

The rings were taken off, dried with paper towels, then the top of the jar got the same treatment. They she applied a thin coating of vegetable oil, to the rings and replied the rings.
I love that you've kept the canning process simple. I do the same pre-canning technique when I do fruit and it always turns out really good. I don't presently have a pressure canner so can't do vegetables yet, but when I do, I will be following your method. Thanks for showing how easy it can be. :)
Also, for those of you wondering why the rings were removed... probably to save on buying rings. They are not essential once the jars have cooled because the lids are what keeps the product "canned" and the rings are only necessary until that process is finished. Then they can be removed and used to can something else. If you like the look of having rings on your jars, leave them on and buy more when you want to can more. Hope that helps explain that. :)
Not supposed to re use lids, according to USDA
@@tinadiggingindirtweinstein5648 I didn't say lids... I said the rings.
Take the rings off so your lid (and ring) won’t rust from trapped moisture. Rusted rings are hard to get off, you can break the jar. You can reuse the rings many times, just purchase new lids (people here call them flaps).
Rings can hide when lids aren't properly sealed, or become unsealed. It's safer to remove rings so you know your canned items are still in good shape and not spoiled 😉
Thanks ebbs.i thought I'd look through the replies to find this answer.
This is an excellent video! Thanks!
I have taught my grandson how to can. He is 9 now. It is so nice to see a man can. He is getting old enough now and due to public school and peer pressures he seems to think only women can. Can hardly wait to show him your video.
Thank you for showing a demonstration on an electric stove! I was stressing about moving the pressure cooker and adjusting the heat. Thank you so much! (Had one explode in my house when I was little and well, they scare me because of it.)
After watching your video a few weeks ago, I finally got busy and canned me some pints of potatoes. I did 8 pints of diced potatoes and 8 pints of sliced potatoes. I hope that if the SHTF happens, I will be better prepared than I was before I started this chore. I like the way they looked when removed from the canner and cooled a bit. They will remain on my table until tomorrow or even Saturday, to allow me to be sure they are sealed and will remain sealed after removing the rings. I thank you for this information and hope others take your cue and start prepping for whatever they may need to be prepping for. Thanks again.
Thank you Sharon. Make sure you open one up and fry them in a little oil and butter. They taste different than if you would have just fried fresh potatoes. When the potatoes start to crackle and are getting browned they are done. I LOVE the taste of canned fried potatoes. That is the main reason I do it. Give them a try.
@@JoeandZachSurvival Thank you for that tip. I have eaten those from the store that are canned but I figure these will have a different taste, as I packed them with Love. lol Thanks again. I will let you know how we like them, if when I open them up, remember to do it. lol Have a great weekend.
@@JoeandZachSurvival I tried a jar yesterday. I had a jar that didn't seal, and instead of cluttering the fridge up more, I made them for supper. They were amazing. So much better than those in a can from the store and we both liked them. Thanks again for the video. I always look forward to videos we can learn from, and when it comes to food, we are easy to please too. Thanks again.
@@wvbonbonqueen I have never tried potatoes that were home canned in glass jars but I never liked the ones from metal cans in the grocery store because they tasted funny to me so I always stuck with fresh or frozen. I would guess though that since glass is a nonreactive material it wouldn't impart off flavors after storing for a while the way metal cans do with some foods or beverages.
@@sabrinazakrowski1399 The ones in jars do not taste the same, not to us anyway. I did mine just incase the electric goes off, I wouldn't have to worry about the freezer, and what was in it. I too dislike the taste of them for cans, but the ones in jars are a different taste from those in cans. Good Luck if you try them. I like learning new ways to store our foods and this was a great one to me.
So far your canning video is the best I have seen most they don't give enough info joined your Channel hope to watch a lot more Keep up the Good Work
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing with us it's simple enough to do thanks
Got my canner found some jars watched the video . Bought my potatoes . I am ready to try to can . Thank you
Thank you so much I have always wondered how to can potatoes and now I know I really appreciate your help
One of the best canning videos I've seen. So many of the women yak too much. I love your "no-nonsense" approach and your brevity! Thanks! I just started canning last summer when it suddenly hit me that if the power goes out - all my wonderful veggies from the garden would go bad! So now I'm canning everything - including meats and chicken!
One thing you may like that I do for "The Tent" (my cabin) is can butter. I have videos on it and it is simply a great idea. No more refrigeration needed. Thank You Connie. Joe
Awe, Connie Hays,
This is toooo funny!! A woman calling other women out on yakin' too much!!! I love it!!! Me woman hear me roar, then shut up!!! Lmbo!!!
@@JoeandZachSurvival Nice to see a man getting in on the canning action. My husband has learned from me and sometimes buys things that are on sale and I get home and find chili, soups, and all sorts of wonderful things canned - without any effort on my part! My male ancestors would be horrified to find this out...
Connie, maybe next time you can be a bit rude with your comments. I will never understand why anyone would want to sit and watch videos that they do not like. Could you explain that to me? Or do you sit and watch videos that you do not like just so you can have something bad to say about them? What has happened to civilization? Very few are civil these days.
Lol I agree with you Connie. There definately are some yakers, men included too. I like socializing like everyone else but when its time to learn its time to be serious and non distracting.
Thanks for demonstration. You explained the canning process really well. I use the German Weck system, the principle of which, is the same. Great to see how you guys do it in the states. Thanks again.
Thank you for the nice comment Mike. Joe
Great instructional. Very thorough. Thank you very much.
I enjoyed your video....thanks for the great tips.
Awesome idea. Thank you for sharing your method of canning! 🥔
Thank you for this video, great tips for a newbie, from start to finish - haven't seen potatoe canning before.
I haven't seen potatoes canned either , was surprised to see 40 minutes. However I'm looking forward to canning the baby potatoes from our garden. The small ones always go bad first.
Good video 😁
Wow! Thank you for this video. I'm planting my garden now, I have about twelve potato plants, wasn't sure how I wanted to store them, I will definitely do this. I never thought about canning potatoes, I simply stored them in a box on the floor of my garage. I like this better, especially the part about the eyes, at that point the potato is done for.
Thanks ☺
I love potatoes and your presentation
I love this video. So straight forward. No nonsense. Thanks for this.
We have a saying at our house -- "It ain't goin' to the fair." That means, like you, we can to eat, not to look. If it's going to the fair, we make them look pretty cause that's what wins at the fair.
I say something like that...I say I am not hoping for blue ribbon...i can for us, not judges
I like that saying.
Love this video for canning potatoes. This is my first year canning. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. You made it look so easy and that anyone can do this.
How did it all work out Anna?
I tried before, but they went bad fast, because I didnt know it had to be a pressure pot. I never tried again and only stick to sugar recipies, but am now ready to try potatoes again. ♥️🇨🇦
You came to the right place. I had to resort back to this video to learn if you add cold water or warm water to potatoes.
Thank you. Your directions were so easy to understand and made me feel like I can do this....This is going to be my first canning adventure.
I like that you keep it simple.
Thanks for that video
never thought about canning potatoes, what a great idea!!! time saver too!
Great instructions. Thanks. I headed out to the farmer to get 50# to can.
Awesome video straight and to the point! Gonna try this Thanks
Clear and concise excellent video! Thanks.
Just finished 7 jars no blanching no lemon h20 just straight to canner. First time for a batch of these. Subscribed.
Thanks, good information. I need to get with the program here and start canning.My grandmothers and mother did this regularly.
My late partner taught me to can years ago. I have since purchased my own canner two years ago. This is a great video. Simple and concise. Thanks for the info and the memories.
Thank you for the video and letting us know that a 10lb bg makes about 7 quart sz jars. Big help on knowing how much supplies to buy per bag...just now bought 70lbs and now know how many jars I'll need
Video is very well done . No rambling on and on ! Thanks for sharing
5th time watching this video. Cut up potatoes and are in 7 quart jars. First time canner. Thank you for the step by step tutorial.
Never remove the rings until completely cooled, accidents happen. Been canning for 48 years ... Also the salt is a preservative so use 1 tsp to a quart .. Don't take chances with botulism .. 👍✌👀🌟
Salt is not a preservative when canning.
@@juliusstriker4465 When it comes to low acid foods being done you need salt,it is a given.Salt is an acid.
Ya youre right salt is a preservative with low acid foods like meat and vegetables
Say whatever but salt will never be acid. Lol
Well that's all fine but it's a preservative that's been used for millennia
I had no idea how canning was done. I was always to scared to even try. This was an awesome video bud. Thanks for sharing your skills!
Greetings in Jesus name our Lord and saviour, are you interested in hearing about the Gospel of Jesus Christ who died for our sins so that we can go to Heaven when we die. Jesus is the son of God and God himself who came in the flesh and became the sacrifice for our sins. Originally man lived in pure happiness in a paradise garden In Heaven but we disobeyed God and as a result we were cast out of paradise, but because God loves us so much he made a way for us to go back into paradise so that we can live with him for eternity (forvever) in true happiness and joy where there is no more pain, suffering and death. Jesus is our lord and savior who came to die for our sins so that he can give us eternal life and save us from Eternal punishment in Hell Fire? Here is a prayer you can say if you would like to receive him as your Lord and saviour. God Jehovah loves us so much that he sent his son to make a way for us back into paradise. Here is a pray that you and others can say to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour.
Father in Heaven I receive your son Jesus as my Lord and saviour, I confess my sins and I ask you to forgive me for all my sins, wash and cleanse me and everything pertaining to me with the blood of your son Jesus and wash away all my spots, blemishes and wrinkles with the blood of your son Jesus. Father God in Heaven, fill me with your holy spirit every moment of my life and always give me infinite oil for my spiritual lamps even until the end. I forgive and release all those who have done me wrong and I ask you to bless them and write my name permanently in the lambs book of life in Heaven, in Jesus name I pray amen.
Here is another prayer to break curses in your life.
Father God in Heaven I break and loose myself and my family from all curses going all the way back to Adam and Eve and I bind every demon and demonic influence in my life and in my family life permanently in Jesus name. I command all demons in my life and in my family life and those around me to leave and never return in Jesus name. Father God send your legions of Angels to fight for me until the end and send your ministering angels to keep ministering to me and always guide and protect me from all evil, I command Satan to get thee behind me in Jesus name I pray amen.
Pass this message to all. If you want to know more about Jesus, study the KJV Bible. Jesus bless you.
I am a 40 plus year canner. Can potatoes and carrots or any root vegetable without water.....trust me....they turn out just like roasted instead of starchy, mushy and watery! Just cut up....rub very lightly with melted butter or olive oil....add salt and pepper. Process 40 minutes at whatever pressure your altitude requires. They turn out just fantastic.
You don't out *ANY* water in your jars with the potatoes? I've never canned potatoes before but what you described sounds delicious
For wonderful video. Thanks for a lot of great information. Hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy and Debbie.
Very nice video, clean and clear, to the point without being clinical or stale. Good job.
Great video! I love your no nonsense approach, lol. My mother used to say it was better not to peal the potatoes because most of the vitamins were in the peal. I don't know if it's true but I love the taste of them. What a lovely display of canned goods... great job!
The iron is in the peal.
I don't get ppl. I think the skins are the yummiest lol
That is true with all vegetables...eat the peels! Farming for 50yrs.
I loved watching that
It reminded me of m y gran she was a farmers daughter
She did all of her own canning
Shevlived in Cornwall at drains valky
@Glen, me too. It's been so long ago tho I've forgotten. I remember us shelling peas. But Granny didn't like us in the kitchen with the old pressure coolers. I do remember booking the lids and jars tho.
I never can potatoes, how long do they last ? ty
My father always wanted me to learn this, thanks so much!
Great demonstration, much appreciated here!!
Great video. Very informative. I remember growing up Mom canning things in the fall when it was chilly outside. It was a lovely warm feeling in the house.
Had no idea I could can them with skins on, thanks for posting.
This was great! I appreciate how you explained everything simply and concisely. New subscriber!
Great video. I always have too many potatoes, so this year I will can them. Just finished canning a whole deer.
Thank you. Ill be canning some this week. FL.
I know this is an older video, but thank you for keeping it up! I get "healthy foods" money with my Medicare and I bought 10lbs of potatoes to can today. I did it last year too, and we used them all winter long. I love that you keep the skin on the potatoes. I do too, so many people don't. I also use Gold Potatoes because I find that they hold up better in the pressure canner. I hope you are doing great!
Hey Joe still healing from this shattered femur so I'm going to can up a bunch since I can't do anything else this will be my second batch just boning up on it again!
Great canning video! Not sure if you are aware, according to USDA, you are no longer required to simmer canning lids. The sealing compound is a little different, and simmering them could cause it to fail. Just put them on your jars as you go along.
I've watched many videos on this and I have enjoyed your video the most. Thank you and God Bless ✝️
Thank you for the easy to understand video!
Thank-you. I'm new to the canning scene and terrified of a pressure canner. Your video helped settle my nerves some.
Awesome video, very well done!!! 1st time viewer, gonna sub., I like how descriptive and well spoken you were. I am hard of hearing and so if I cannot see the person speaking it makes it difficult for me to understand, but I did not have the problem with your video and you gave very detailed and informative instructions and information on how to do things and why!!!
I look forward to future videos and looking back at you other videos as well. Thank you so much, you have been a huge help to me!!! I just received about 40 lbs of potatoes about 20 lbs of persimmons, 6 heads of cabbage and about 30 lbs of carrots I'm going to can. I can't wait!!!
Thank you for the very nice comment and welcome. I have a video I have not edited yet and posted, it took me all year (growing season) to make it and your the first to hear about it. Its going to be called "The life cycle of a Potato". I have an onion video just like it I did a couple of years ago and it has helped many people. I hope this one does the same. Thank you again and make sure you comment when you can. Joe.
JoeandZachSurvival You're most welcome. I look forward to this new video and I will look up your onion video and watch it. This is awesome as are you and your videos. God Bless you and yours, and keep up the good doings! All of my love to you and yours!!!
why should i take the rings off at the end?
Gabriel Watkins It is my understanding that it is just a preference, some people do leave te ring on and some don't. I think if you take the rings off and the jar loses it's seal at any time you will definitely know without any false readings or checks, whereas if you leave the rings on but the seal is faulty the ring may yet hold it tight enough as to not allow the lid to rise up and give it's "tell" when you get the little bump rise in the middle of the lid that gives and makes a little popping or sometimes boing sound,giving you a false sense of the jar is still good, IF you make a pot of stew not being able to tell the jar lost it's seal, anyone who eats the stew could get botulism poisoning, due to all of the ingredients making the off flavor the potatoes would have
@@JoeandZachSurvival I cant wait to see the potato video!
I've never eaten canned potatoes. Wow. I'm definitely going to try this.
I thrown in whole cloves of garlic and use sea-salt fir taste. Have u used herbs in urs at times? Here in Alaska canning is a must... 🐻
just move away from that awful state.
Red bear Alaska, I live in Alaska as well. Have you ever canned moose?
Robert Morgan hi Robert no i have not deer yes catfish and salmon/ halibut. Never been able to have the honor or moose meat. How was it??
@@redbearalaska2416 , I would do the hunting gutting in cleaning and my x would do the canning.
Moose meat canned dosen't look that Appetisin after even a year on the shelf but tasted really good in soups and stews.
Enjoyed your video. Thank you.
Excellent video, thank you!
Just a little hint, when pressure canning, my All American canning book, says you do not have to sterilize your jars or lids.. they will sterilize while being pressure canned...saves you time...
Agreed, but it never hurts to do extra, while unnecessary.
I thought you had to heat the sealer cap to help it seal better. Is the book called All American canning book and does it cover canning and preserving? thank you for any input Marianne.
Hi Johoney54, it doesn’t hurt to heat the sealing caps first, but it’s not necessary. When canning something at 240 degrees for 40 minutes, the caps will get plenty hot for sealing. The All American book that I was referencing is a book that comes with the All American Pressure Canner when you purchase it. It has manufacturer recommendations according to FDA standards and plenty of recipes and canning instructions. I’ve used many different canners over the years, but find I love my All American the best! ❤️
@@mlang3066 thank you. I am looking forward to canning my food. you have a wonderful day. thank you for sharing.
@@mlang3066 doubt you need hot water just cold pre boiled otherwise seems over cooking
Thank you for sharing! I'm definitely going to try this...i love canning! Great instruction too ~~
Loved your video Joe. I don' t have a pressure cooker but I have been canning using the water bath method. Your video makes me want to go out and get a pressure cooker. We have to be self sustaining especially as mean as the world is getting.
Tracy Whitaker right, we must prepare
Tracy, be sure you get a pressure canner, not a pressure cooker. there is a difference.
My husband purchased me the pressure cooker last year, the electric one and I’ve since read they aren’t safely approved for canning. I’ve canned green beans, purple hull peas, butter beans and pickles and we haven’t gotten sick yet, they’ve been great. I’m leaning towards a pressure canner this year so I can can more at a time.
My wife says I already have a bad altitude...oh... never mind... lol
Thank you. That was very informative and easy to understand!
what a talented man you are Joe I was watching a video were your polishing stones and now your canning potatoes I a learning from you thank you I must say I am a little scared of the preasure cooker my friend had one explode on her and was in hospital for a long time Mae from Oxford England
Great job! Thank you!
like your videos grew up on canned goods from the garden but my mom never used a pressure cooker and they always turned out fine !
I can confirm this. Last year i canned potatoes by boiling them for 1 hour using waterbath method, and they are still good to eat one year later :)
I've canned jam & pickled green beans before & always used the water bath method. Using a pressure cooker scares me!! I guess I've heard to many bad stories about them exploding. :(
@@khouston1965 they will only explode if you block the release valve and not turn down the heat. once it starts to vent steam just turn down the heat and let it do its thing. i even cook stews in mine. quick and delicious.
@@khouston1965 me too... lol
@Gene lol
thank you! I always do the jars one at a time--fill it, wipe it, seal it, then set it into the canner with the boiling water; that way, each jar has a better chance to avoid bacteria from the air getting onto it.
I've canned bear meat, cheese, butter, and soup, as well as the usual fruits, etc.
awesome. I am just now preparing my garden plans for next year and I really look forward to starting canning and preserving. Where do you live? Bear meat? lol. Have a blessed day Jeans Roses.
@@johoney5458 Hi- I'm on the North Coast of calif. Yes, bear meat; my husband hunts them, so we get a lot of that meat
@@jeansroses7249 wow, I will stay here. lol
Excellent video thank you
That looks really easy. Thanks for sharing
Just a tip, soak your cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes and bleed out the starch. I do this before cooking mine and my potato salad and mashed potatoes are 5 star. They’re different because it’s not about ingredients or seasoning... the potatoes are “different” and the flavor is more “clear/ crisp” if that makes sense.
I've always wondered how "canning" was done at home. I Looks simple enough but is probably not as easy as it looks. You have quite a stock of canned goods in your storage. I am also impressed that a man is showing us how this is done when I've always thought it would be a woman's thing. Thank you for this interesting video, it is especially important now we are in the grip of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The only hard part is making sure the jars don't pop when there hot. I would turn off your ac so the rooms warmer and so no cold air hits the jars.
It is as easy as it looks.
never knew you remove the rings once the items are caned... wow learn some thing new everyday.... yet another grate video thank you for sharing it with us....
Old time music
We always left the rings on because of mice. Those buggers can pop a lid too slick.
@@blaineclark they WHAT?! 😨😨
Here I thought I knew all about mice... ! -- Anyway, maybe it would work to leave the rings on fairly loose, just to protect, so as not to create a false seal? Huh.
I leave the rings on so I don't lose them and take up space in the drawer somewhere... lol
That sink!! OMG love it!
Very nice straightforward video thanks
Just in time when i want to learn preserving some food supplies for the corona out break!
Bit late really... seems the coocoo crazy preppers were not so crazy after all, eh?
Its fake.
By the way, great video. The intro was beautiful.
Video starts: "So I was about to kill a buncha goats, but since it's cold, I'm gonna can potatoes"
LMAOOO im dead
😂💀
Yeahhhhhh not a good start
Those lucky goats got to live another day.... but those poor potatoes.
Why is killing animals funny??
Watching from Beautiful Southern Iowa. I just Google canning potatos and your channel popped up. Looks great and simple.
From a old gal that’s done lots of canning....
Good job!!!!!
