My favorite way to eat canned potatoes is to drain the jar, melt 4 Tablespoons of butter, add 1 tsp of onion powder, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of paprika, and roast them in a 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. These Oven Roasted Potatoes are delicious and the canning makes them so easy and quick.
I just canned four quarts of Russets in my Nesco and they turned out very well. I am eighty years old and have just started to can and the Nesco is a blessing to use. My storage is also just getting filled and I find your videos so informative by learning how to can, store dried goods, etc.. I find your knowledge in the sciences reassuring as you apply them to your video information on self preservation. The Lord continue to bless you and Jim as you minister to all of us.
That's awesome!! I had to get a refresher and rewatch video because I forget and saw your comment. I've got 7 qts in canner and another 18 lbs that need to be peeled and cut. They're starting to get eyes.
I’m 27 years old, and completely new to canning. And wow, you really know the In, and Out. Thank you for doing your research. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have been binge watching your videos.... and, I LOVE THEM. Please continue to upload. You’re amazing
You can do it! You are young and motivated, so have at it! So glad our videos are useful to you. We don't plan to stop making these videos anytime soon--thanks for your encouragement.
Hint for peeling potatoes. Buy an apple peeler/corer. Remove the corer. Slice a little bit off the top & bottom of the potato (save) to have a flat end to work with. Cut the potato in half if needed to fit on the prongs of the peeler/corer. Peel away. Remove any blemishes. Put in water until you're ready to cut further. Note#1 - really soft potatoes won't work without a struggle. Potatoes with large rotten spots won't either. Note#2 - If you decide not to take off the corer, you get a big spiral thick cut of potato. Cut your spiral chunk on the left & right, and you have ready-made half moon pieces the appropriate thickness to be canned. The center core piece you wind up with can be cut up into smaller pieces & canned also. The center pieces are great in casseroles or scalloped. Total win/win. Note #3 - If you keep your peeled potato on the prongs & peel again [over & over until you cut close to the prongs], you get a spiral potato cut. Great for hash browns or to dehydrate. Plus you don't have to buy a spiralizer. Note#4 - Those end pieces & the peels don't toss them. Wash really well. They make great fried potato peels if fried (especially if covered with onions & cheese). They are also great deep fried, fried in an air fryer, or coated in oil and fried till almost crisp or real crispy in the oven. (Sprinkle with spices like onion powder, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning to flavor them up.) Yep. I've canned me a few potatoes. Lol. Happy canning.
Hi! I am 67 yrs young lol & have just started canning! Nerve racking for me. However, your way of teaching is a blessing & I can understand you! Thank you for sharing your wisdom, time & experiences. With love & gratitude, Susan
LOL, I had to laugh at beginning of video when you talked about your mom & dad peeling potatoes. I grew up in a family of 20; 18 kids + mom & dad. Yes, all full blood siblings. We are from Kansas, so potatoes are a staple at every meal. I didn't know most people cooked dinners without peeling a 10 lb bag of potatoes! We did not can potatoes but I quickly learned when I moved out at 17, that I did need to can them. No big deal. I was Mom's chief canner since I was 10. I quickly learned about pints instead of quarts, because it suited my cooking needs better. One thing I have learned about Russet potatoes over the years, is that each crop has its own starch level. I do soak in vinegar & salt water while peeling and cutting, but still, you will have various levels of starch in potato water. No big deal. Also, I can a lot of potatoes in french fry cut now, for my airfryer. Love french fries in 10 minutes and 10 minute country fries from the cubed canned potatoes. Great video👍👍
@@chrish6216 Hi Chris, I am one of those cooks who don’t exactly follow recipes or measure anything. A big glug of vinegar and a small palmful kosher or canning salt, in a dishpan full cold/cool water. Every batch of potatoes has varying amounts of starch and moisture content in potatoes. I soak for as much time as I have, sometimes changing water to fresh, mostly not. I used to take time to pat potatoes dry but realized it doesn’t matter. Some batches will come out beautifully white, others will be gray or brownish. Does not matter, just different potato enzymes. They are perfectly safe and will fry up beautifully. When I can, I will french fry cut, coarse chunks, smaller dice, whatever, so I can use them in anykind of recipe, without further cutting or prepping. 😁👍
@@lindacochran5035 I did buy a 8mm blade for my Cuisinart to slice 1 way, then manually slice other way. But truth is, I mainly just use a heavy cleaver and just cut it all manually.
Don't worry about your family, just pray for them! You were lucky to get jars at a low price, I could not find canning jars! Every one has the same idea I have. Get what I can get and vacuum seal all the dry stuff I can get and pressure can as much as I can get! I don't think I will need all of it but the prices are going up so what I get now and can or vacuum seal will be at a lower price than what it will be a when I eat it. Thank you for your information! I am a single disabled retired man and just learning, making some mistakes but less mistakes because I can get help from you and others on here!
I am watching this 2 years later and so happy it came up in my canning search. Current vids by other people say do not can russets as they go to mush or get cloudy and you just proved otherwise. I am going to can Reds this week, but the good prices are on Russets, so I will buy those next. As I type this its cause we are learning potato crops are in danger and may result in shortages shortly. I will not be caught without potatoes!
Hi Pam, love your videos! I just canned 10 quarts of red potatoes, peeled of course. I had read others lamenting that the 10 minute boil rule for diced potatoes resulted in mushy, mashed like jars of potatoes. So I reduced my time to 5 minutes for my 1”-2” sized pieces. I did process them for 40 minutes as directed. The NCHC instructions say 2 minutes for 1/2” and 10 minutes for whole. I mentioned this on a FB group and was corrected by the group expert that I should have done 10 minutes therefore my jars are “potentially” unsafe. Since I see by your video that you cut your time down to just bringing to a boil, I thought I’d check to see if there were any problems with yours. I assume there wasn’t, since this video was 2 years ago, you’re still alive and the video is still up! My jars look beautiful and I was so proud for having used a bunch of gifted potatoes that we would never have been able to eat fresh before they went bad. We actually opened a jar the next day and I was able to make fried potatoes with some dehydrated onions and peppers I had done. I was so excited to have this fabulous convenience! I trust your judgement, so please let me know what your thoughts are on this boil time controversy! Thanks for all your wonderful information!
How many lbs. of potatoes did you use for your 10 qts, if you can still recall? I’m still relatively new to canning and I don’t want to over or under estimate this batch of mine.
Those potatoes look wonderful! I must say I haven't really suffered from lockdowns and being at home this past year. I determined to learn to can meat and was fortunate enough to collect my canning supplies and a dehydrator before those things became scarce. Well...canning must be addictive because I have canned everything!!! Chicken, ground beef, turkey, bacon, sausage, beans, soups, potatoes, carrots, jams and jellies, apple butter, fruit, peppers, tomatoes, and so on. It's hard work, but so rewarding, plus many of my canned goods were purchased at sale prices. I must say this is my favorite hobby EVER and that's saying a lot because I've tried many things in my 68 years!! Am so enjoying your videos and glad my sister recommended your channel a few days ago. Thank you for good content. God bless.
Watching this a year and a half later, remembering what a scary time it was... I can't imagine how much more scary it must've been for you both, with three of your 4 children being medical professionals, with a PPE shortage to boot. Peeling 50lbs of potatoes was a very smart way to keep busy and occupy the mind. My heart goes out to you and your whole family for what you went through during that time. Your ability to keep it together so well is truly admirable. I turned 40 this year, but when I watch your channel I still think, "I want to be like her when I grow up." 🤗
Wow--thank you so much for your kind words. Everyone made it through those scary times, thankfully, and my three medical children escaped getting COVID. Two other sons got it, but they were never critical. It was a great blessing. Now we are all vaccinated!
@@RoseRedHomestead Oh thank goodness! That's wonderful to hear! When I got my first dose, I got to the car and burst into tears, overwhelmed with gratitude and relief. I'm so glad to know you all made it through okay.
I am 69 years old and just getting into pressure canning - I have done water back in the past so I am enjoying all your videos from years past. I use an Electric Nesco Smart canner. Just myself and husband so small batches are perfect. THANK YOU Pam for giving us all your knowledge. Love your interaction with Jim and when you have your sisters on your videos as well. 🥰
I had to watch this again this year because I'm going to get a pressure canned (finally!) And the first good price I can find on potatoes I'm going to buy them and can as many quarts as I have jars. They are a comfort food for both my husband and I.
I pour off the water and drain, saute onions in small amount of oil then pour in the potatoes, they make wonderful old fashioned "fried taters" oh so good. Pam, I so love watching you. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Both Idaho and Washington will experience poor potato crop yield this year. Thank you for making this clear and simple. I do love your videos. God bless you and Jim.
I live in northern Minnesota and there is a potato processing (fries, tatertots, hash row s and so on) so we have potato fields everywhere. The big farmer owning all those fields let’s the community come out and dig all you want for free !!! They section off part of a field, make a big driveway loop so you can pull up close to where your digging and let you have all you want !!!! I went yesterday and got about 10 or so 5 gallon buckets…. I may go get more, just for other people !!! They aren’t organic like mine but it’s free food and if things get bad at least I’ll have potatoes for a lot of people !!! I’m so grateful !
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 would u mind sharing where this potato farm is pls? I too am from MN but probably too far away. I'm closer to central MN but what a great resource. Thank u.
Thank you for your video!!! It's so informative and helpful as a newbie! I didn't catch at how much weight you processed the potoates. You mentioned 40 minutes. Thanks again!
When you mentioned that they were mush, I looked it up also. From the National Center for Home Preservation it says that if you cube the potatoes you only need to boil for 2 minutes, but if you can them whole that is when you boil for 10 minutes. I ran into the same problem, so looked it up again. This is before I saw your video. But I just love your teaching method. Hoping that you and your husband are still safe.
Somewhere I learned with the high starch potatoes likes Russets to soak then in cold water for awhile. I did an hour. When I used them after a year there was starch in the jar but the chunks where firm. They taste great!
I have had people ask about my hamburger stew and other meats, and I refer them to your videos! They have thanked me and told me what a help your videos were! Just thought I would pass that on to you. I’ve really loved having home canned “fast food” as you call it when I’ve worked too hard in the garden to cook. Thank you for your videos!
I tried this following your instructions and they came out perfect! Used them for fried potatoes and eggs, mashed them up and used in a beef stew diner. Loved it, for me it is like having rice or beans on hand. Not mushy or under cooked.
I'm a new canner and honestly your my go to resource. I tell everyone that your the only one they need. Live the videos and so excited to see what's next.
I followed your very clear instructions for these potatoes. I used my apple peeler to do most of the peeling, and then just had to clean up the ends and missed spots with my hand-held potato peeler. It made fast work of a tedious job. Thanks Pam and Jim!
I just went and bought potatoes from a local farm and I am beyond excited to can them! I absolutely love your videos. It makes me So happy to store food away for my family and know it’s being done safe 🥰🥰
Dear Pam, Just watching your video on canning potatoes. I can see how sensitive a person you are. Your voice was breaking up a bit, in the beginning of the video. I understand how nervous and anxious you must have been, with your children being in nursing. Such a scary time this was for you, I'm sure. I just want to say that I appreciate your videos very much, your grit, and your knowledge. Thank you! I go to your channel when I need to know the no-non sense, trusted "how to". I'm building my pantry (first year canning for me). And you are a wonderful inspiration to me. I hope you and your husband are well, and wish you all the best. Marie-France (from Switzerland).
Thank you so much for being so thorough with explaining the process of canning potatoes. I have always been afraid of them spoiling in the jars. You are such an amazing instructor. I pray that you and your family will be safe
Me too!! It is a pasta pan by cuisinart and it is one of my favorites. I had no idea how handy they are before I bought it a year ago. I should have bought one years ago! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for your videos! I just absolutely love how thorough you are in explaining the hows and whys....I love being educated on new things. I am refreshing myself on canning. I only ever canned beans before and that was about 2 years ago. I am going to try potatoes to ease into it again! Please keep the knowledge coming! Much love from Texas! Be safe, y'all! 🤗💜
You are so welcome! I am glad our videos are useful for you. Potatoes are very easy, so that is a good choice to do next. Pretty soon you will be an expert!
I found this video today because I have 10 lb. of russet potatoes and want to learn how to preserve them. My freeze drier is on the blink, so canning is my next choice. Depending on how they turn out, I may be on the hunt for a 50 or 100 lb. bag. Oh BTW, I just purchased an automatic potato peeler. That's why I'm anxious to start working with potatoes.
Wonderful video and timely once again!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me and many others! You are a good teacher and a great blessing to all!!! Prayers 🙏
Enjoy watching all of your videos because you teach very well. I have been water bath canning and pressure canning for 2 years and I enjoy it so much. I like to see all of the jars with different food s inside. You are a beautiful person with a warm heart. Blessing to you and your family. Thanks for your video, as I still have alot to learn. God bless you and your family.
Thank you. Yes, I do love to see all those jars of food lined up on our pantry shelf. There is just something so satisfying about being as self-sufficient as possible. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for doing this. If anyone is looking for potatoes, I picked up potatoes at Aldi's, (in TN) 10-lb bags for $5.49, vs walmart 5lbs for $8.99, as of this date. Sam's offers no savings whatsoever, at least not here. I have 80 pounds of potatoes to get canned. Again, thank you.
I canned potatoes today, first time canning anything!! They turned out beautiful, you have taught me so much, Thank you for showing me it’s not so hard, n safe it can be❤
Thanks for the shorter boiling tip! I, too, had the potato mush experience. I ended up making & freezing lots of potato pancakes, ( with added ingredients, of course), out of that mush!
Hi Mrs. Pam, this is the first time watching your vedios, I am learning a grate deal, I happen lol I am getting ready to put a greenhouse in an plant potatoes al sweet potatoes, an all kind of different vegetable, my friend an my self are doing togather, I pray I can learn every thing you teach. Thank for sharing. God bless you an Mr. Jim. Keep up the grate work.
You are so very encouraging and dear to be praying for everyone. I’m canning my first potatoes tomorrow morning. Thank you for your sharing your knowledge and for your husband being so supportive with filming.
I’ve been watching your videos and I absolutely LOVE you! I’ve seen other videos but with your years of experience, I trust your expertise! My Mom and Aunts always used a butter knife to get those bubbles out too so it wasn’t foreign to me. I do have the plastic tool and I use it but as long as you’re not jamming that knife forcefully, it’s fine. It takes a lot of force to score a jar. ❤ 🌹 ❤️
Love your videos! I have never canned before, but I got all my supplies and I’m determined to learn. I have been watching several videos and you are so pleasant and a joy to watch. Thank you for being such a blessing during this time.
You are so welcome! And congratulations on becoming a canner--it is a great life! This is a perfect time to learn and perfect the skill of food preservation by canning. Thanks for watching.
RoseRed Homestead I’m watching the one on Ball jars and Weck jars now. Just finished the preparation one. I’m 55 and wishing I had known you for years. You are so comforting. I bet you were the best mom...lol
@@kandjmom I think if you had asked my six children that question, they would have put me in competition for Meanest Mother Ever when they were little! LOL. But thank you for your kind thought. They sure learned to be hard workers and all are great adults, so it all worked out OK!
Jim and Pam- thanks so much for your video tutorials. I’ve watched many of them but re-watching as I just purchased a Nesco digital canner. Excited to try out potatoes and carrots as my first trial batches. ❤
@@RoseRedHomestead I certainly will! Ran out of time today but after church tomorrow I’ve got 6 pounds of carrots and 10 pounds of taters waiting for me 🤗 and 10 pounds of chicken. Gonna do some individually and some chicken soup jars like Pam’s. ❤️
Your Potatoes look beautiful. Ck out Linda's Pantry. She canned Potatoes and Carrots with Lipton Soup Mix. I canned them and they are delicious. Ready for chicken soup. Or what ever. Thank you for keeping us thinking about canning.
I bought a PC apple peeler (but there are many of their brands) you can use it with or with out the corer/slicer and peel a potato really quick and just have to clean up any areas with large dimple and save some time. So glad I saw this tip on another channel, and maybe someone will see this and realize they already have one for making apple pie and such and save some time.
We enjoy our canned potatoes and use them for everything! Home fries, potato salad, and mashed. Next time you put some up, slice them (scalloped potatoes) or cut into steak fries (great in the air fryer). They are one of the things we will always have on hand, along with mushrooms and chicken breast.
Canning potatoes for the first time today, and of course I had to come here to figure out how! I love how helpful you are!! No wonder you are my favorite you tuber!!! Thanks for all you do! By the way, I use my large Rada potato peeler. It works great and the larger size is great for arthritic hands! Peeling goes quickly; so far today we've done 15 lbs!
I started canning my potatoes yesterday. After I had done a few quarts I decided to open one and see if I liked them. I did not like them. I tried mashing them and they went to glue. I decided I wasn't going to can any more of them. Instead I am going to cook them with the skins on, mash them and put them in the deep freeze for the holidays. Every year at this time I start cooking for the holidays. About 15 years ago I decided I was tired of being stuck in the kitchen on Thanksgiving and Christmas while everybody was visiting. I do my potatoes, my stuffing and my yam and apple casserole and freeze them. The day before the holiday I thaw them and then on that morning they go in crock pots to warm and they are wonderful. I just cooked a batch of potatoes and mashed them and they are absolutely wonderful. They are beautiful potatoes!
Thank you for sharing this information. Sorry you potatoes didn't work out. But freezing is a great option. I am working on dehydrating potatoes several different ways--they can be kind of tricky. I well share my experiments in a video later in the fall. These potatoes are really fantastic and I am so glad you told us about them.
I enjoy your show so much I’m a Grandmother and I maintain a home on senior living. I also take this pandemic seriously. I wish I had the space to canning.
Pam I've not canned potatoes yet it's on my list to learn. I was very excited when I saw this video posted my husband and I settled in to learn how. When you pulled out a jar of already canned potatoes and I saw what they looked like inside the jar I thought you were going to talk about how they went bad. Not how to use the perfectly good potatoes. If I had canned potatoes and mine looked like yours I would have thought I did something wrong. Thank you for giving me the confidence to give it a try. Christine, Kansas City Kansas
We have 8 raised beds for veggies and have not had success in storing them over the years. So, we decided to start canning. Our pressure canner should be here in a week or so. I've spent this Stay Home day researching recipes. I am so glad I found you. You make wonderful videos. I look forward to viewing them all. Stay safe, stay home, and wear a mask when you have to go out.
Well I am excited for you! Pressure canning is a wonderful way to preserve garden vegetables. We are so glad you found us, as well. Have fun with your new adventure! And thanks for watching.
U are a sweet lady, I wish u and your husband in health and happens, GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY 🙏❤️❤️ there’s a lot of work in canning, but the pay is worth it all
Pam, your potatoes turned out beautiful! Doesn't canning up food make you so happy:) It does me. I just recently canned homemade bone broth (21 Quarts) and 7 quarts of ground beef! PLus, foraged some wild herbs in my yard and dehydrated them and sealed them up to put in pantry. Thank you for your canning video and I look forward to seeing more. Take care and stay safe. Hugs,Judy
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos packed with Information!! Hopefully, Mpox will not be the next pandemic. Your videos and information help us navigate through these trying times. 😊
Hi, just watched your video and will can potatoes this weekend. Do you have a video on your outdoor kitchen? I would like one. Thanks for your channel!
Thank goodness this video popped up, I have been wanted to can potatoes and this!!!! This is wonderful. I can’t wait! Now I’m going to watch the sweet potato video. My next day off will probably be potato day. So happy to see all your videos!
I love having bottled potatoes! Their taste is a little off, but they are wonderful & so quick to use in my Cheesy Potato Soup. Best with added Cream of Chicken Soup, Sour Cream, onion, celery, plenty of Cheddar Cheese & seasoning.
I can them all the time. I have a 10-pound bag I need to do. After many times canning them I now cold pack them, with cold water and a cold canner, and bring them all up to heat together. and can for the time for potatoes. They get too mushy as you said both ways the 10-minute boil and the bring to heat. That is why I do the raw pack method. I just season and butter them and serve as our side.
I know that method can certainly be used successfully. However, I feel a responsibility to present methods and recipes endorsed by the USDA. Thanks for watching.
There is a raw pack approved method. It is the same as I do only using boiling water over raw potatoes. I only do the all cold method to protect the long term integrity of my jars.
So you don't get rid of the starch by boiling and discarding the water? I've been wanting to do potatoes but throwing away all that nutrition is just unacceptable. I don't care if the water is cloudy. I just want my food to retain the nutrition.
yes, the corona virus. Thank you so much for keeping my wife and I so sane during these times. I have all your videos and have canned all kinds of things and even captured some wild yeast.
I just did a batch of potatoes when I found them on sale. They tend to run small out here so I held a cotton kitchen cloth in my hand put the potato on the cloth and used a peeler that peels both ways. The potato didn’t slip around and I was able to peel them so much faster! The cloth was dry. No nicks to my hand either.
Thank you for this video. My little grandson is a very picky eater. But his favorite thing is my canned potatoes. He gets a little stressed when the bottom of the Pan can be seen. Doing a second batch tomorrow.
Hello, Pam; in the intro to your channel, what is in the jar with the lemon round in it? I'd really like to try that, it looks so delicious; you are an excellent instructor in the art of canning, thank you.
I'm rewatching your video on canning potatoes. Yesterday was pork and today potatoes for the first time! Thank you for your well explained and precise directions on all your videos! You've become my "go to" when I need a refresher or to try something new! Did the cherry pie filling a month ago and it was outstanding! I was able to use fresh cherries from our trees! Thanks so much for all your valuable information🤗

My favorite way to eat canned potatoes is to drain the jar, melt 4 Tablespoons of butter, add 1 tsp of onion powder, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of paprika, and roast them in a 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. These Oven Roasted Potatoes are delicious and the canning makes them so easy and quick.
That sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Add some of those rough chopped sweet onions… yum!
Sounds delicious!
Use the 'potato water' in soup!

Canning is so satisfying in so many ways. You know what you are eating and where it is coming from.
Except she uses a knife to de bubble her bottles. Which is a huge no no. So please do your own research.
Hint for peeling potatoes.
Buy an apple peeler/corer. Remove the corer. Slice a little bit off the top & bottom of the potato (save) to have a flat end to work with. Cut the potato in half if needed to fit on the prongs of the peeler/corer. Peel away. Remove any blemishes. Put in water until you're ready to cut further.
Note#1 - really soft potatoes won't work without a struggle. Potatoes with large rotten spots won't either.
Note#2 - If you decide not to take off the corer, you get a big spiral thick cut of potato. Cut your spiral chunk on the left & right, and you have ready-made half moon pieces the appropriate thickness to be canned. The center core piece you wind up with can be cut up into smaller pieces & canned also. The center pieces are great in casseroles or scalloped. Total win/win.
Note #3 - If you keep your peeled potato on the prongs & peel again [over & over until you cut close to the prongs], you get a spiral potato cut. Great for hash browns or to dehydrate. Plus you don't have to buy a spiralizer.
Note#4 - Those end pieces & the peels don't toss them. Wash really well. They make great fried potato peels if fried (especially if covered with onions & cheese). They are also great deep fried, fried in an air fryer, or coated in oil and fried till almost crisp or real crispy in the oven. (Sprinkle with spices like onion powder, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning to flavor them up.)
Yep. I've canned me a few potatoes. Lol. Happy canning.
Thank you for the great tips! What kind of peeler/corer do you have?
I love watching Rose Red! She is my kind of person!

I am going to can Reds this week, but the good prices are on Russets, so I will buy those next. As I type this its cause we are learning potato crops are in danger and may result in shortages shortly. I will not be caught without potatoes!
Hi Pam, love your videos! I just canned 10 quarts of red potatoes, peeled of course. I had read others lamenting that the 10 minute boil rule for diced potatoes resulted in mushy, mashed like jars of potatoes. So I reduced my time to 5 minutes for my 1”-2” sized pieces. I did process them for 40 minutes as directed. The NCHC instructions say 2 minutes for 1/2” and 10 minutes for whole. I mentioned this on a FB group and was corrected by the group expert that I should have done 10 minutes therefore my jars are “potentially” unsafe. Since I see by your video that you cut your time down to just bringing to a boil, I thought I’d check to see if there were any problems with yours. I assume there wasn’t, since this video was 2 years ago, you’re still alive and the video is still up! My jars look beautiful and I was so proud for having used a bunch of gifted potatoes that we would never have been able to eat fresh before they went bad. We actually opened a jar the next day and I was able to make fried potatoes with some dehydrated onions and peppers I had done. I was so excited to have this fabulous convenience! I trust your judgement, so please let me know what your thoughts are on this boil time controversy! Thanks for all your wonderful information!
I read a website that said soaking raw potatoes in water will remove the starch. So why not skip the preboil?
My canning book says 2 minutes for chunks and that’s what I use. Your potatoes should be fine!
How many lbs. of potatoes did you use for your 10 qts, if you can still recall? I’m still relatively new to canning and I don’t want to over or under estimate this batch of mine.
Those potatoes look wonderful! I must say I haven't really suffered from lockdowns and being at home this past year. I determined to learn to can meat and was fortunate enough to collect my canning supplies and a dehydrator before those things became scarce. Well...canning must be addictive because I have canned everything!!! Chicken, ground beef, turkey, bacon, sausage, beans, soups, potatoes, carrots, jams and jellies, apple butter, fruit, peppers, tomatoes, and so on. It's hard work, but so rewarding, plus many of my canned goods were purchased at sale prices. I must say this is my favorite hobby EVER and that's saying a lot because I've tried many things in my 68 years!! Am so enjoying your videos and glad my sister recommended your channel a few days ago. Thank you for good content. God bless.
Wow--you have been busy. I think that is great. Thanks for joining us on our adventures--we are happy to have you along for the ride.
Watching this a year and a half later, remembering what a scary time it was... I can't imagine how much more scary it must've been for you both, with three of your 4 children being medical professionals, with a PPE shortage to boot. Peeling 50lbs of potatoes was a very smart way to keep busy and occupy the mind. My heart goes out to you and your whole family for what you went through during that time.
Your ability to keep it together so well is truly admirable. I turned 40 this year, but when I watch your channel I still think, "I want to be like her when I grow up." 🤗
Wow--thank you so much for your kind words. Everyone made it through those scary times, thankfully, and my three medical children escaped getting COVID. Two other sons got it, but they were never critical. It was a great blessing. Now we are all vaccinated!
@@RoseRedHomestead Oh thank goodness! That's wonderful to hear! When I got my first dose, I got to the car and burst into tears, overwhelmed with gratitude and relief.
I'm so glad to know you all made it through okay.
@@RoseRedHomestead bless you & your family. Our families were vaccinated but we got covid 5-6 month later anyway but didn't get very sick with it. 🤔
I am 69 years old and just getting into pressure canning - I have done water back in the past so I am enjoying all your videos from years past. I use an Electric Nesco Smart canner. Just myself and husband so small batches are perfect. THANK YOU Pam for giving us all your knowledge. Love your interaction with Jim and when you have your sisters on your videos as well. 🥰
I had to watch this again this year because I'm going to get a pressure canned (finally!) And the first good price I can find on potatoes I'm going to buy them and can as many quarts as I have jars. They are a comfort food for both my husband and I.
I pour off the water and drain, saute onions in small amount of oil then pour in the potatoes, they make wonderful old fashioned "fried taters" oh so good. Pam, I so love watching you. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Both Idaho and Washington will experience poor potato crop yield this year. Thank you for making this clear and simple. I do love your videos. God bless you and Jim.
I live in northern Minnesota and there is a potato processing (fries, tatertots, hash row s and so on) so we have potato fields everywhere. The big farmer owning all those fields let’s the community come out and dig all you want for free !!! They section off part of a field, make a big driveway loop so you can pull up close to where your digging and let you have all you want !!!! I went yesterday and got about 10 or so 5 gallon buckets…. I may go get more, just for other people !!!
They aren’t organic like mine but it’s free food and if things get bad at least I’ll have potatoes for a lot of people !!!
I’m so grateful !
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 would u mind sharing where this potato farm is pls? I too am from MN but probably too far away. I'm closer to central MN but what a great resource. Thank u.
Thank you for your video!!! It's so informative and helpful as a newbie! I didn't catch at how much weight you processed the potoates. You mentioned 40 minutes. Thanks again!
When you mentioned that they were mush, I looked it up also. From the National Center for Home Preservation it says that if you cube the potatoes you only need to boil for 2 minutes, but if you can them whole that is when you boil for 10 minutes. I ran into the same problem, so looked it up again. This is before I saw your video. But I just love your teaching method. Hoping that you and your husband are still safe.
Thank you!
You don't have to pre cook
Somewhere I learned with the high starch potatoes likes Russets to soak then in cold water for awhile. I did an hour. When I used them after a year there was starch in the jar but the chunks where firm. They taste great!
Any good use for the mushy batch I made?
@@traciboylston2242 I would mash them.. Add lots of butter and some salt and pepper
I have had people ask about my hamburger stew and other meats, and I refer them to your videos! They have thanked me and told me what a help your videos were! Just thought I would pass that on to you. I’ve really loved having home canned “fast food” as you call it when I’ve worked too hard in the garden to cook. Thank you for your videos!
You are so welcome! Thanks for sharing our videos! We appreciate your support.
I tried this following your instructions and they came out perfect! Used them for fried potatoes and eggs, mashed them up and used in a beef stew diner. Loved it, for me it is like having rice or beans on hand. Not mushy or under cooked.
I'm a new canner and honestly your my go to resource. I tell everyone that your the only one they need. Live the videos and so excited to see what's next.
I have even shared this site with our son who enjoys canning. Pam and Jim have been such an inspiration to me!
I followed your very clear instructions for these potatoes. I used my apple peeler to do most of the peeling, and then just had to clean up the ends and missed spots with my hand-held potato peeler. It made fast work of a tedious job. Thanks Pam and Jim!
Brenda: Thanks! We are happy it worked-out for you. Jim
I just went and bought potatoes from a local farm and I am beyond excited to can them! I absolutely love your videos. It makes me
So happy to store food away for my family and know it’s being done safe 🥰🥰
Riki: Thanks! Jim
You’re a natural born teacher. I’m in my mid 60’s and learning to can. You’re always my first choice for information. Thank so much.
Wow, thank you! So glad our information is useful for you.
Dear Pam, Just watching your video on canning potatoes. I can see how sensitive a person you are. Your voice was breaking up a bit, in the beginning of the video. I understand how nervous and anxious you must have been, with your children being in nursing. Such a scary time this was for you, I'm sure. I just want to say that I appreciate your videos very much, your grit, and your knowledge. Thank you! I go to your channel when I need to know the no-non sense, trusted "how to". I'm building my pantry (first year canning for me). And you are a wonderful inspiration to me. I hope you and your husband are well, and wish you all the best. Marie-France (from Switzerland).
Yes, that was a very difficult time for Pam. Everything worked out fine. Thank you for your concerns. Jim
Thank you so much for being so thorough with explaining the process of canning potatoes. I have always been afraid of them spoiling in the jars. You are such an amazing instructor. I pray that you and your family will be safe
You are so welcome! And thank you for your kind wishes.
I love that pan you cooked the potatoes in! So glad your safe at home!
Me too!! It is a pasta pan by cuisinart and it is one of my favorites. I had no idea how handy they are before I bought it a year ago. I should have bought one years ago! Thanks for watching.
@@RoseRedHomestead what size is that pot, please?
@@RoseRedHomestead Would you mind sharing the size of the pot?
Thank you so much for your videos! I just absolutely love how thorough you are in explaining the hows and whys....I love being educated on new things. I am refreshing myself on canning. I only ever canned beans before and that was about 2 years ago. I am going to try potatoes to ease into it again!
Please keep the knowledge coming! Much love from Texas! Be safe, y'all! 🤗💜
You are so welcome! I am glad our videos are useful for you. Potatoes are very easy, so that is a good choice to do next. Pretty soon you will be an expert!
I found this video today because I have 10 lb. of russet potatoes and want to learn how to preserve them. My freeze drier is on the blink, so canning is my next choice. Depending on how they turn out, I may be on the hunt for a 50 or 100 lb. bag. Oh BTW, I just purchased an automatic potato peeler. That's why I'm anxious to start working with potatoes.
Wonderful video and timely once again!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me and many others! You are a good teacher and a great blessing to all!!! Prayers 🙏
Enjoy watching all of your videos because you teach very well. I have been water bath canning and pressure canning for 2 years and I enjoy it so much. I like to see all of the jars with different food s inside. You are a beautiful person with a warm heart. Blessing to you and your family. Thanks for your video, as I still have alot to learn. God bless you and your family.
Thank you. Yes, I do love to see all those jars of food lined up on our pantry shelf. There is just something so satisfying about being as self-sufficient as possible. Thanks for watching!
I love having potatoes on hand already canned! Makes supper fast!
best teacher i ever hd right here... Thanks Pam and Jim
linda: Wow, thank you! Jim
No, too much starch
Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge and experience. I’m just starting to can and your videos have been invaluable. ❤️
You are so welcome! So glad they have been helpful.
Thank you for doing this. If anyone is looking for potatoes, I picked up potatoes at Aldi's, (in TN) 10-lb bags for $5.49, vs walmart 5lbs for $8.99, as of this date. Sam's offers no savings whatsoever, at least not here. I have 80 pounds of potatoes to get canned. Again, thank you.
I canned potatoes today, first time canning anything!! They turned out beautiful, you have taught me so much, Thank you for showing me it’s not so hard, n safe it can be❤
I raw packed my potatoes and they turned out great. I was afraid they were going to be mush, but they were fine.
Thanks for the shorter boiling tip! I, too, had the potato mush experience. I ended up making & freezing lots of potato pancakes, ( with added ingredients, of course), out of that mush!
Great tip! Jim
Even though I have seen this video, I still refer back when I am canning potatoes. Thank You for a valuable library.
Hi Mrs. Pam, this is the first time watching your vedios, I am learning a grate deal, I happen lol I am getting ready to put a greenhouse in an plant potatoes al sweet potatoes, an all kind of different vegetable, my friend an my self are doing togather, I pray I can learn every thing you teach. Thank for sharing. God bless you an Mr. Jim. Keep up the grate work.
I just LOVE your teaching style! Thank you for explaining everything so clearly!
You are so very encouraging and dear to be praying for everyone. I’m canning my first potatoes tomorrow morning. Thank you for your sharing your knowledge and for your husband being so supportive with filming.
You are so welcome! Thank you.
I’ve been watching your videos and I absolutely LOVE you! I’ve seen other videos but with your years of experience, I trust your expertise! My Mom and Aunts always used a butter knife to get those bubbles out too so it wasn’t foreign to me. I do have the plastic tool and I use it but as long as you’re not jamming that knife forcefully, it’s fine. It takes a lot of force to score a jar. ❤ 🌹 ❤️
Love your videos! I have never canned before, but I got all my supplies and I’m determined to learn. I have been watching several videos and you are so pleasant and a joy to watch. Thank you for being such a blessing during this time.
You are so welcome! And congratulations on becoming a canner--it is a great life! This is a perfect time to learn and perfect the skill of food preservation by canning. Thanks for watching.
RoseRed Homestead I’m watching the one on Ball jars and Weck jars now. Just finished the preparation one. I’m 55 and wishing I had known you for years. You are so comforting. I bet you were the best mom...lol
@@kandjmom I think if you had asked my six children that question, they would have put me in competition for Meanest Mother Ever when they were little! LOL. But thank you for your kind thought. They sure learned to be hard workers and all are great adults, so it all worked out OK!
Hi Pam, another great video. Thanks for all of the preparing and canning videos Hope you and Jim stay safe!
Thank you! You too!
I am rewatching this video because today i got 50lbs of red potatoes. So i plant on canning a bunch of them. Thank you for a great video
Sounds great! Keep up the good work.
You are wonderful. your insructions are easy to follow. thank you
Thank you Rose gald I came back and looked up the canning potatoes video
You are so welcome!
My first time canning potatoes. 🥔 I hope they turn out good. Thank you for step by step instructions. 🤗❤️
I learned soo much from you videos. Will be pressure canning carrots and then potatoes. Thank you soo much.
I am going to do it tomorrow.. Thank you for sharing it with us. God bless you.
you folks are awesome thank you for your videos!
Jim and Pam- thanks so much for your video tutorials. I’ve watched many of them but re-watching as I just purchased a Nesco digital canner. Excited to try out potatoes and carrots as my first trial batches. ❤
Thanks for the very kind comments. Please let us know about the results with your Nesco. Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead I certainly will! Ran out of time today but after church tomorrow I’ve got 6 pounds of carrots and 10 pounds of taters waiting for me 🤗 and 10 pounds of chicken. Gonna do some individually and some chicken soup jars like Pam’s. ❤️
Your Potatoes look beautiful.
Ck out Linda's Pantry. She canned Potatoes and Carrots with Lipton Soup Mix. I canned them and they are delicious. Ready for chicken soup. Or what ever. Thank you for keeping us thinking about canning.
I watch Linda's Pantry and the Kneady Homesteader or Sutt Daze
@@michellecollins3501 I watch them as well
Sounds great!
I watch them also.. love their videos & Whippoorwill Holler..
Can you add Lipton soup mix safely?
I love canned potatoes. I like to drain a jar, saute onion and peppers in olive oil and add potatoes and they are fabulous
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing.
I bought my self a canner and I am watching you because you are teaching me how to can.
That is awesome! You can do it!
I bought a PC apple peeler (but there are many of their brands) you can use it with or with out the corer/slicer and peel a potato really quick and just have to clean up any areas with large dimple and save some time. So glad I saw this tip on another channel, and maybe someone will see this and realize they already have one for making apple pie and such and save some time.
Went home last night and bottle 1 batch! I'm so excited. Thank you for your motivation. It. Was something I could do right after work! Thank you.
Sounds great! Jim
I just canned my first 10 quarts of potatoes today after watching this video. Thanks for giving me the guidance before I jumped in. 😊
Kimbee: I think it is fantastic that you were able to do that much canning from watching Pam's video. Keep us up on more of your successes. Jim
Thank you for canning potatoes. I have not yet done potatoes. I am learning a lot in preparing for emergency. God bless
Thank you from a new 50+ year old canner. So Thankful that I found your channel. Your knowledge is amazing and I commend you for sharing. ❤
Wanda: Thank you for finding our channel. Jim
We enjoy our canned potatoes and use them for everything! Home fries, potato salad, and mashed. Next time you put some up, slice them (scalloped potatoes) or cut into steak fries (great in the air fryer). They are one of the things we will always have on hand, along with mushrooms and chicken breast.
Those are great ideas! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so MUCH i just started canning again i use to with my great grandma😊
You are so welcome and good for you to start up canning again. It is such a useful skill. Thanks for watching.
Canning potatoes for the first time today, and of course I had to come here to figure out how! I love how helpful you are!! No wonder you are my favorite you tuber!!! Thanks for all you do! By the way, I use my large Rada potato peeler. It works great and the larger size is great for arthritic hands! Peeling goes quickly; so far today we've done 15 lbs!
That is fantastic peeling. Let us now the results of your canning. Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead well when I got up this morning all the jars were sealed. Yay!
Thank you so much for teaching this
I started canning my potatoes yesterday. After I had done a few quarts I decided to open one and see if I liked them. I did not like them. I tried mashing them and they went to glue. I decided I wasn't going to can any more of them. Instead I am going to cook them with the skins on, mash them and put them in the deep freeze for the holidays. Every year at this time I start cooking for the holidays. About 15 years ago I decided I was tired of being stuck in the kitchen on Thanksgiving and Christmas while everybody was visiting. I do my potatoes, my stuffing and my yam and apple casserole and freeze them. The day before the holiday I thaw them and then on that morning they go in crock pots to warm and they are wonderful. I just cooked a batch of potatoes and mashed them and they are absolutely wonderful. They are beautiful potatoes!
Thank you for sharing this information. Sorry you potatoes didn't work out. But freezing is a great option. I am working on dehydrating potatoes several different ways--they can be kind of tricky. I well share my experiments in a video later in the fall. These potatoes are really fantastic and I am so glad you told us about them.
Thank you for sharing your experiences in life, canning included!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Thankyou for great video iam going to try some looks so good
I love your pot and your scoop, that makes is so much easier
Yes it does, thanks.
I enjoy your show so much I’m a Grandmother and I maintain a home on senior living. I also take this pandemic seriously. I wish I had the space to canning.
Thank you. I wish you could figure out a way to do some canning as well. And good for you for taking the pandemic seriously. I wish everyone did!
Pam I've not canned potatoes yet it's on my list to learn. I was very excited when I saw this video posted my husband and I settled in to learn how. When you pulled out a jar of already canned potatoes and I saw what they looked like inside the jar I thought you were going to talk about how they went bad. Not how to use the perfectly good potatoes. If I had canned potatoes and mine looked like yours I would have thought I did something wrong. Thank you for giving me the confidence to give it a try. Christine, Kansas City Kansas
Thanks for letting us know about the experiences you and your husband have had witching our videos. Jim
Thank you. Have a Blessed day
Just want to say thanks so much. I’ve learned so much from you.
I just peeled potato's and put them in a bowl overnight. This helps with the starch and then tomorrow I will boil them like you did. Love your video;s
Kim: Thank you! Let us know how the potatoes worked-out. Jim
We have 8 raised beds for veggies and have not had success in storing them over the years. So, we decided to start canning. Our pressure canner should be here in a week or so. I've spent this Stay Home day researching recipes. I am so glad I found you. You make wonderful videos. I look forward to viewing them all.
Stay safe, stay home, and wear a mask when you have to go out.
Well I am excited for you! Pressure canning is a wonderful way to preserve garden vegetables. We are so glad you found us, as well. Have fun with your new adventure! And thanks for watching.
U are a sweet lady, I wish u and your husband in health and happens, GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY 🙏❤️❤️ there’s a lot of work in canning, but the pay is worth it all
Thank you for your kind words, and we appreciate the blessings!
First time canning potatoes today. Excited to have this availability for potatoes because mine don’t store well inside otherwise. Thanks!!
Pam, your potatoes turned out beautiful! Doesn't canning up food make you so happy:) It does me. I just recently canned homemade bone broth (21 Quarts) and 7 quarts of ground beef! PLus, foraged some wild herbs in my yard and dehydrated them and sealed them up to put in pantry. Thank you for your canning video and I look forward to seeing more. Take care and stay safe. Hugs,Judy
That is awesome! And yes, it does make me feel very happy--and prepared! Thanks for watching.
Going to do potatores first time. I have that pot & love it!
Elaine: Hope you enjoy making the potatoes. JIm
Thank you so much for sharing this video!
You are very welcome. We have another video on using canned potatoes as well that you might like to check out.
I can't wait to do this.
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos packed with Information!! Hopefully, Mpox will not be the next pandemic. Your videos and information help us navigate through these trying times. 😊
You are so welcome! Jim
Hi, just watched your video and will can potatoes this weekend. Do you have a video on your outdoor kitchen? I would like one. Thanks for your channel!
Thank goodness this video popped up, I have been wanted to can potatoes and this!!!! This is wonderful. I can’t wait! Now I’m going to watch the sweet potato video. My next day off will probably be potato day. So happy to see all your videos!
Great video. I love hearing old time stories. Really neat that you remember the lessons from when your father was in the Navy.
Thank you!
I love having bottled potatoes! Their taste is a little off, but they are wonderful & so quick to use in my Cheesy Potato Soup. Best with added Cream of Chicken Soup, Sour Cream, onion, celery, plenty of Cheddar Cheese & seasoning.
What a sweetheart....my husband has the same luck....well he was thinking about you....gotta love men like him.....thanks for sharing patti
😊 thank you for your comment.
Thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge. I am pretty new to canning and am eager to learn all I can.
Good for you! So glad our videos are useful for you! Thanks for watching.
I can them all the time. I have a 10-pound bag I need to do. After many times canning them I now cold pack them, with cold water and a cold canner, and bring them all up to heat together. and can for the time for potatoes. They get too mushy as you said both ways the 10-minute boil and the bring to heat. That is why I do the raw pack method. I just season and butter them and serve as our side.
I know that method can certainly be used successfully. However, I feel a responsibility to present methods and recipes endorsed by the USDA. Thanks for watching.
There is a raw pack approved method. It is the same as I do only using boiling water over raw potatoes. I only do the all cold method to protect the long term integrity of my jars.
So you don't get rid of the starch by boiling and discarding the water? I've been wanting to do potatoes but throwing away all that nutrition is just unacceptable. I don't care if the water is cloudy. I just want my food to retain the nutrition.
Beautiful potatoes.
You taught me how to can hamburger. Doing chicken soup tomorrow. Going to see what else i can can. Thank you for your guides god bless
Loved your video of canning white potatoes!!!!
Thanks so much! They are so handy!
yes, the corona virus. Thank you so much for keeping my wife and I so sane during these times. I have all your videos and have canned all kinds of things and even captured some wild yeast.
Glad to help. And congratulations on capturing wild yeast!
Ooh, neat! That sounds like a cool new thing to learn!
I just did a batch of potatoes when I found them on sale. They tend to run small out here so I held a cotton kitchen cloth in my hand put the potato on the cloth and used a peeler that peels both ways. The potato didn’t slip around and I was able to peel them so much faster! The cloth was dry. No nicks to my hand either.
The reason I use regular mouth jars is because I can get the Bernard brand lids at $ store for 2$ Canadian wheras the large ones are $3.50 and up.
Thank you for this video. My little grandson is a very picky eater. But his favorite thing is my canned potatoes. He gets a little stressed when the bottom of the Pan can be seen. Doing a second batch tomorrow.
Hello, Pam; in the intro to your channel, what is in the jar with the lemon round in it? I'd really like to try that, it looks so delicious; you are an excellent instructor in the art of canning, thank you.
Thank you for another wonderful learning video.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
Oh, delightful. Delicious! I am so excited to try this (as soon as I can get those beans canned)!
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching.

@@RoseRedHomestead You're such an inspiration, and your teaching is so detailed and well-prepared. I just have to try these things. Thank you!
I'm rewatching your video on canning potatoes. Yesterday was pork and today potatoes for the first time! Thank you for your well explained and precise directions on all your videos! You've become my "go to" when I need a refresher or to try something new! Did the cherry pie filling a month ago and it was outstanding! I was able to use fresh cherries from our trees!
