I've tried this dry canning method and it was much better than the potatoes soaking in water. They didn't have a weird taste, smell or texture! Thanks for the video!
ppl have done this for gens. if there is anything living in your jar - without or without water - after pressure canning, then cooking the food after opening - it didn't seal, or you contaminate it after opening, or you didn't have right amount of time/pressure ... they also use the oven/fire to can (never got sick from that either - 15 kids raised this way). generations of ppl raised this way and we all got here ...
You've convinced me, along with David, Pam, Christy and Rob, in that I'm now going to have to can me some 🥔!!!! You guy's are all so cute. Thank you Carter for putting these very informative videos together. You have no idea how much we appreciate them. ((HUGS))
Carter a triple crown potato success! Your canning method looks so much easier. Enjoyed seeing your taste testers. I started steaming my potatoes for mashing. Have a steamer pan that fits over a saucepan with a lid, not a basket. Cooks larger quantity. Really fluffy. Have a great week.
Interesting! I'd never think of steaming raw potatoes for mashing. If the starch doesn't get left behind in the boiling water, it stays in the potato, I assume. Is that what makes it fluffier? Food science! 🙃
I have never heard of “dry pack raw” potato canning. Wow! Those seemed to turn out perfect! I am going to watch your instructional videos now. Thank you. ( I am 61 yrs old so I guess you CAN “teach an old dog new tricks” 😂)
Hey, RCD! Good to see you. I have been looking forever for a way to can sweet potatoes that doesn't leave them soggy mush. My concern with dry canning them is that they are so very dense that the heat might not be able to penetrate sufficiently to make them safe. I continue to investigate!
Carter I made red curry and it is delicious. Thank you so much. Chicken, onion, red bell pepper, zucchini and carrots. Followed the Allrecipes recipe and how you sauteed and added a little more curry. Thank you so much. My husband loves it too.
I canned my extra potatoes this year. Planning to make warm German potato salad with them also. Easy quick side dish. I love how quick they are to add I to a dish.
I have only dry packed potatoes so far. Like you, we are low carb so I don't plan to eat them unless there's a darn good reason. A few carbs aren't deadly, it's the food the carbs are coming from, lol. I'm so glad I found your channel the other day Carter! Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!
Welcome, Deborah! So glad to have you here. My husband wanted fries tonight with dinner. I don't know how it could take so many years to learn that fries don't work when we're keto!
Thank you for the video, and how you’ve tested the potatoes. I was a little Leary, but tried canning them dry a few weeks ago. They look amazing in the jars! Now I’ll get going on more potatoes. I’ll also try other veggies ☺️
@@growandpreserve I tasted them soon after they were canned. I am glad to see your video, especially for longevity. Can’t wait to get more in my shelf!
I just finished peeling and dicing and 10lb bag of russets and thought I'd check on something quickly and somewhere else said DON"T use russets. Panic struck lol. Thank you this. I'll be adding some onions and hot peppers to some of the jars just to test that out. Your video went to all black at 12:18 so I'm assuming the fries were good. Thanks again.
You'll do great! The video went black?? First I've heard. I'll take a look. Thanks for the head's up. Fries are fantastic. Just made my 4th or 5th batch last week.
@@growandpreserve I'm in Canada. Maybe Russett is wrong speak 😬🤣 I'll fry up a jar tomorrow night and see what boss man says (his account here lol) thanks Mari
You should use plant cream. I had seen it at the store not that long ago and I don't do dairy so I bought it and tried it actually turns out really good I use it like half and half
Yes. Russets are what I normally use for fries and hashbrowns, although they do tend to discolor a bit because of the sugar/starch. This year, I'll be using Kennebecs and Elbas for my fries. We'll see!
I think they would be just fine for cold potato salad, if you normally use russets for it. I have made potato salad often from the dry canned baby gold potatoes, and it's perfect. kKep me posted!
Awesome! I tried canning them after your original video but I didn't have lime so I used lemon juice. I did use Redmonds salt too. All was well until the canning process. They turned brown and tasted yucky. I'll give it one more shot without the salt and adding the lime.
@@growandpreserve oops citric acid. . That's what I meant. Thank you! I have some now and will definitely try again. I have a ton of potatoes growing beautifully that I will need to preserve soon. I will have to get this down before then. I'm learning so much from you and others. I really appreciate you sharing with us!
@@Deauxneal How exciting to already have potatoes growing! I still have another week or two until mine can go in. Don't shortchange the steps, and you won't have any problems with these at all. I'm excited for you!
They'll be soooo worth it! I understand the stores are just now starting to get fresh potatoes from somewhere. They've been old and horrible the last couple months. Looks like your timing could be great. Let me know what you think, Neppie!
About the starchy water in the bottom of the jar - could you rinse the starch off of those? Does the citric acid soak cause them to have a sour taste? Could you use lemon juice instead of citric acid in the soak? I'm wondering if the mashed potatoes would have a better consistency if I used a masher or put them through a ricer instead of the electric mixer??? Mixers tend to make even fresh boiled potatoes a bit gummy. I know you can't have it, but butter and milk or cream would be amazing in those mashed potatoes :)
I'm sure you can do a better job with the mashed potatoes than I did! You can definitely wash the starch off the potatoes on the bottom. I haven't tried them with lemon juice, but I would expect more of an aftertaste than the citric acid. To me, it's nearly unnoticeable. Let me know if you give them a shot!
@@growandpreserve I will let you know how they turn out. I'm doing my very first batch ever of dry pack potatoes tomorrow :) Your videos have been really helpful and I feel confident that I can do this and they'll be really good.
Watching your ads and canning destroys vitamins? I have cidp disease and numb hands and do make my hubby a huge pot full, I use butter and can milk and at times I use cream cheese and sour cream. Almond milk would not be good for my hubby. I am going to try dry canning potatoes. I am so glad you did all of the potatoes. I will be making the hash browns or making them small. Thank you so much.
Can you stretch the time to much longer?? I would love to see how long they can last!! Maybe a year long if you're brave enough or if they can last that long lol
Next time instead of microwave. The potatoes what you do is melt butter and Put milk in with the butter and get that hot not bubbling but hot then mash the potatoes and put that hot in it so that you don't. Have to microwave the potatoes and they turn out amazing.
I'm not against dry canning potatoes but have always heard that cooking them for 10 min after opening the jar is the way to go as that would kill any botulisim that may have gotten in.....
I haven't, Susan. I usually treat it the same way I do sweet potatoes when they have reached the end of their storage life. Cut into about 1" chunks, roast, then flash freeze before vacuum packing for the freezer.
Welcome, Lu! I have researched this extensively and cannot find a large group of folks (country, culture, generation, etc) who has canned sweet potatoes like this. I do have one viewer who tried several times and decided that the product was still inferior and not worth canning. Sorry!
@@growandpreserve all the crunching and munching are a seal of approval in my book! But my stomach is growling now lol your potato videos were wonderful!!

Thank you so much for doing this video - great to know how the food tastes and how it mashes up, etc. when reheating/cooking it.
You're welcome, Judy! I'm so glad it's helpful. I'm not a big fan of the cliffhanger end either! Thanks for being here, Judy!
Did the dry canning and loved it. They make great potato salad.
Yay! Thank you so much for reporting back, Jeanne! So glad you're here!
These looked amazing! I wonder, could you do the same thing with sweet potatoes? I want to can them but I don’t want them to turn out too soft 🤷🏻♀️

Wow those looked good. Your family and friends seem really nice.
Thanks, LH! And yes, my family and friends are pretty awesome! Thanks for being here!
Carter would it work to use for a cold potato salad or are they only going to work warmed up?
I think they would be just fine for cold potato salad, if you normally use russets for it. I have made potato salad often from the dry canned baby gold potatoes, and it's perfect. kKep me posted!

Thanks, Frank!
Good job Carter.
Thanks, Lisa! There's corned beef in the works!
I have been looking for posts and videos about dry pack canned red beets to no avail. Do you have any opinion on them?
Hmmm. Andy, I have not done beets any way other than pickling and water bathing. When you PC them in water, do they turn out water logged?
This was a great video. I know what I’ll be doing soon.
Great! Keep me posted!
try to make potato patties if there are any mashed left
That's exactly what I did! They were great! Thanks for being here, Mikesfarm!
Those potatoes look delicious!
Thanks, Recoil! They are really good, and I've restocked a couple of times since.
Have you tried this method with winter squash?
I haven't, Susan. I usually treat it the same way I do sweet potatoes when they have reached the end of their storage life. Cut into about 1" chunks, roast, then flash freeze before vacuum packing for the freezer.
I did sliced love them
Yay!
Have you done sweet potatoes this way?
No. Several folks here have tried, but none has the liked the end product enough to do it again.
@@growandpreservethank you!
What kind of air fryer do you have?
Hey, Susanna! I have this one: amzn.to/46vS3Io. According to Amazon, I bought it in 2018. Still going strong!

@@growandpreserve looking forward to canning some regular potatoes :) thank you for the videos on this
I think a ricer would work best for warmed canned potatoes.
No doubt you're right! Don't tell my husband!🤫 Thanks for being here, Wendy!
@@growandpreserve you have a fun channel, Carter, and good ideas.
Add some good creamy milk, butter, and sour cream, and then you have excellent mashed potatoes. Maybe that's why you're not a fan. ;) ;) ;) :)
You may be right!
Mine are still good 😃
Yay! Aren't they awesome?

I know, right?!? No butter on anything for me. 😒
Im glad there good
