    May I suggest a potato fork? Like a pitchfork, but not. Go along the row with the potato fork loosening the soil, and the girls come behind and pluck out the potatoes. Easy, peasy. I enjoy your videos.❤

    Great harvest. The small potatoes mom would can with fresh green beans. Seasoned when ready to heat up. So many potatoes cakes leftover with meatloaf. Mom passed in 1997 and had a food shelf that she always prepared to feed all 7 of us. 6 bushels done at a time then 6 more all summer. While in home preparation class 1969 we didn't go by menu selection. Teacher didn't know how farmers didn't go to the stores for splurge extra. Still putting things up at 70. Your keep life real. Watch all videos. Blessings from texas

Or cut into fries or slices and freeze in the freezer( depending on freezer space). This could extend your storing ability.

    you can use a mandolin or a food processor to slice the potatoes thin then put them in the freeze dryer. you can use them to make scalloped potatoes or you can boil them for mashed potatoes. i dont know if cubing them up and freeze drying would work for soup or not. you can also can them, which is great for a quick meal. that way you dont have to worry about needing to store the potatoes for a whole year, you can do a portion of the year with preserved potatoes. a food dehydrator would probably work too tho if you have a freeze dryer, thats always better!

    For great spuds, you need great roots so it branches out n grows heaps of spuds. Free flowing soil with lots of organic matter (not compost) & river sand forked through, fork deep. Combine blood n bone & potash as you fork it all through. Plant 1mth later in shallow mounds & build the mounds,mulching throughout. Harvest earky season after the flowers & the maincrop after plants have died out

    Try using a pitch fork, poke it straight down and then lever it up and it will lift 99% of the spuds and then another couple of digs in the same place will bring up an6 the first time missed. A rake and shovel coming in from above always ends up with cuts and stabs in your spuds.
