Canning Potatoes | Dry Pack Method

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

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

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

I watched one homesteader put in big bowl with salt & pepper and melted butter mixed real good then dry packed looks good both ways thanks for this video.

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

Keep doing what you're doing! Great video. And don't let the 'science' world tell you otherwise - I was watching a channel (RoseRed), who slammed everyone that canned this way. She's a retired science teacher, and science tends to come in with their opinions after people have done something for generations without any issues. Same people that tell us we evolved from apes... thanks Krystal!

Last summer when I dry canned some potatoes I put a clove of garlic in the bottom of each jar.... delicious..

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

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

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

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

This is the absolute best way to can potatoes!!! I am glad to see so many positive comments on your video. I made a video on dry canning potatoes and it is crazy the negative comments people give.....

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

I keep a piece of the thick plastic foam packaging that comes in boxes in a kitchen drawer, it is perfect for bouncing jars in to compact the contents and you aren't beating yourself up doing it.

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

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

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

I’m canning potatoes tomorrow. I think I’ll do it this way.

I just did 20 lbs today and I am trying the dry canning say a prayer. Also I use an apple peeler works so good

You explained everything very well🌞 years ago I canned homemade salsa my tomatoes, pears, apples, and preserves. The freezer jam doesn’t count. Ha ha I still have my old canner. It’s not a pressure type.
