HOMESTEAD PANTRY STOCK, Pressure Canning Potatoes

Let s Pressure Can Potatoes This is my first time canning potatoes so we will be going through this process together. I am using quart sized jars, I prewashed the jars and lids, then washed, blanched, and chopped the potatoes into 12 inch pieces. Next I par boiled them for 23 minutes to release the starches. Next drain the potato water and rinse potatoes. Filled my mason jars to 1 inch of headspace, topped with hot water, cleaned rims of jars with damp cloth and put lids on finger tight. Into my All American Canner I double stacked my jars and pressure canned at 10lbs of pressure for 40 mins. So happy that my homestead pantry is expanding with this new staple food item. PS. Don t feel like you have to grow your own potatoes to do this for your own food security, you can simply pick up a bag of potatoes from a local farmers market or grocer and you too CAN can your own potatoes That 1870 s Homestead P.
