Perfectly Canned Potatoes: Mastering the Water Bath Method!

Thanks Kaili great video ❤ I don’t trust any government agency . They have proven them selves untrustworthy and dishonest. We all need to grow what we can and preserve for hard times coming🙏👋👋👋👋🙏🙏🇺🇸

Thanks.....BTW....those that oppose water bath canning for potatoes, ignore the fact that several generations used this method, without problems. This is how European countries can.....for the most part. They do not have access to pressure. canners. The most important thing is to clean everything well. Sanitize jars and lids. Cut out bad spots. Water bath for your recommended time. Well done. You can water bath can green beans as well. Using the proper ratio of vinegar and water inside of the jar.

Thank you Kaily 🙏 I am definitely trying this! I only have a water bath canner... I grew up with our own canned chicken, meats vegetables etc...water bath only! I just water bathed some chicken... excited to try it. I used my mom’s and mother in law’s recipe and suggestions. But people keep saying to me You Need to Pressure Can! It’s Not Safe! Anyways I was about to get a pressure canner then I happened to see Make it Make and now you! Watching Make it Make with Amish recipes and canning has totally re instilled my confidence! Thank you! The gov’t does not want us to sustain ourselves! Instead want us buying stuff in the store when it Is full of preservatives and chemicals! Also... The price of stuff is absolutely expensive! Don’t know how families are able to feed themselves. I canned over 500 lbs of tomatoes last fall,... canned tomatoes, juice, V8 juice, tomatoes sauce, salsa, relish... etc... I have been canning for 40 years... and will continue ♥️🙏 so awesome too see the younger generation canning. God Bless and thank you. Don’t let the ‘Nay Sayers’ discourage you. Keep up the excellent work ❤

My grandmother, and my Mom always hot water bathed everything they grew, my Mom past away at 92, and I am 63, none of us died from eating water bathed food

Love the way you’re pleasant and straight to the point. I had to subscribe.

The reason potatoes need to be pressure canned is because a water bath does not get up to the temperatures needed to kill botulism spores, but pressure canning does by increasing the pressure and therefore the temperature. Many foods are safe to be water bath canned, but they are foods that have a higher acid content, which does not allow the botulism spores to develop. Adding vinegar to your potatoes as in this video MAY be one solution. But as a general rule, if you water bath low-acid foods long enough to kill botulism spores, you end up with mush. That is the basic reason some foods are pressure canned, and some can be water bath canned--their acid content. I have watched people water bath can green beans using hours of water bathing--mush! Just because you CAN do it, doesn't mean you should, or that if better and safer methods develop over time, they should not be used. If you get appendicitis, do you have surgery or do you call a witch doctor? If you have an infected wound, do you say magic words or take penicillin (ask all the WWII survivors!). Just because your parents did it, or grandparents did it, does not mean there is not now a better and safer method. God gave you brains; use them!

What did they do before pressure canning, they water bathed, thank you i watched a video of people overseas water bathed meat in gallon jars takes longer yeah they have huge pots

How long will potatoes 🥔 last in the jars for pantry shelves? I’m new to canning etc just purchased everything I need for canning and pressure canning. Congratulations on the baptism praise the lord ! Thanks for sharing looking forward to learning with you as well 😊

Cool, ich mache sie auch so und sie sind immer perfekt 😊

I like to see younger people learn to preserve food. I have never put vinegar in my potatoes when canning. Very interested to know if they smell or taste like vinegar when you open them. The Amish canning methods are tried and true, just not USDA approved. I will give you a sub so that I can follow your journey in food preservation.

If you live in Wisconsin Kwiktrip has taters for 99cents for 5#. Did my first dry canning with a pressure cooker. I will try this method when I get more jars.

I have been water bathing potatoes but I dont let them soak but after cutting them into cubed I blanch them for 2 minutes and rinse them under running cold water so they stop cooking. Than I make a mixture of water salt sugar and vinegar and bring them to a rupid boil for about 5 minutes. I add enough vibegar to bring the acid down to 3 pont usind litmus paper to test. I fill the jars with the potatoes than add the liquid put the lids on and do water bath for about half hour. The potatoes doesn't get mushy and they are really nice to make potato salad with mayonnaise onion and some herbs. If it's done properly the potatoes last for years in the jar.

In the United States, National Presto Industries, Inc. was founded in 1905 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where it designed and manufactured pressure canners (known at the time as “canner retorts”) for commercial canneries. The company, originally called Northwestern Steel and Iron Works, was a major producer of fifty-gallon capacity pressure canners. Subsequently, the company also began production of thirty-gallon canners for hotel use and soon thereafter developed ten-gallon models suitable for home canning. The company installed an aluminum foundry in 1915 for the specific purpose of manufacturing large-size pressure canners for home use.

Wow that looks really easy. I’m going to do this. I have a water bath canner but never sure what I can do this way.

I dry can my potatoes so they dpnt come out mushy. Its "rebel canning" but ive been doing it for years and years. Never had a bad jar

One suggestion: remove the RINGS. Store them with just the sealed top 😊

Have you opened a jar yet to see if they're firm or mushy? I appreciate how you fast forward filling the jars, thank you!!! 😂 Great video, I'm new at this...the potatoes look perfect

hi kaily, thanx a lot for all the videos, thank u for the video, can we hot-bath can ranch dip & Greek tzatziki dip? 🙏

Im a new subscriber, and i totally agree with MS K.M!!
