Instructions
- Peel potatoes with a potato peeler. Place them in a pot with clean, cold water so that they don’t discolor.
- Once potatoes are all peeled. Drain the water that they were soaking in and cover with fresh water.
- Start a large pot with clean water to boil. Boil for 10 minutes
- Prepare jars. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to each jar. (optional step)
- If you would like to make diced potatoes, dice them into ½ inch cubes. I cut potatoes that are larger than 2″ inches into diced..
- Add diced potatoes to a different pot to par cook.
- Bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes for whole potatoes and 2 minutes for diced.
- Fill jars with potatoes, leaving 1-inch headspace.
- Pour clean, boiled water into jar, maintaining the headspace. Run a knife around to edge of the jar to eliminate any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a clean, damp paper towel or cloth to remove any residue.
- Prepare pressure canner adding water to the bottom line. Add jars to the canner. Lock lid. Turn fire on high and vent the pressure canner for ten minutes. Then add the pressure regulator. Bring the pressure up to 11 psi and maintain it there.
- Process pints for 35 minutes and quarts for 40 minutes.
- Once the pressure valve has gone down and there is no pressure in the pot. Remove lid. Allow jars to sit in hot water for 5-10 minutes.
- Remove jars from the canning pot and place them on the counter.
- Leave for 12-24 hours and check seals. Any lids that flex up or down have not sealed and should be stored in the refrigerator and used first.

Notes
- Recipe makes 7 quarts.
- Always date your jars so that you know how old your products are.
- Potatoes must be pressure canned. They are not safe to can in a water bath canning pot. Note: your pressure cooker is not the same as a pressure canner. Do not use your instant pot or similar appliances to can foods. You will require a dial gauge or weighted gauge pressure canner to can low acid foods. (I use a weighted gauge canner)
- Potatoes must also be peeled. There are no tested recipes leaving the peels on. See article for more information.
- Sealed jars will last at least 12 months in a cool, dark place, like your basement.
- Potatoes can not be canned raw pack. They must be canned hot pack (par boiled first).
- Red skin potatoes and white potatoes are usually well suited for canning. See article above for best varieties of potatoes to can and more information on how to grow them.
