I actually found it by accident one day when I took my peeler apart to scrub everything and thought "this could peel other stuff!"... happy accident because I use it now for everything!!
I'm new to canning and I have to say,,, I'M OBSESSED WITH YOUR VIDEOS!!! 😁🥰 I just started buying all of my canning supplies, and I can't wait to get started! THANK YOU!
I like that you explain things well, but you're not too chatty. I like that we get to see a lot of what you do, but not tediously so. The music choices, IMO, are nice. I wish you'd show your face some. Just found your channel. I'm enjoying it.

@@FyreflyesFollies Honey you are who God made you, no need to be ashamed of that. A good share of us out here are in the same boat!! 😉 And anyone else has NO right to judge!!! God bless!
Omg…..I just hate hearing that. I’m so sorry…I totally understand thought. My sister is a big girl too…about 450. Ya….too big for me not to worry. But I tell ya, she is so loved! Many friends, loving husband and family. And that girl can move too! She just retired from working as a Physical Therapist Assistant. She’s a beautiful person and we love her. And me? Lol…I’m a skinny minnie! And they worry about me being so skinny!! Lol….
I can tell just by watching you, you know how to can. I just did some of these fries yesterday. It never occurred to me you could use a apple peeler for potatoes. I will have to look into that. Thank you for the video.
you never cease to amaze me. just yesterday I was gifted 40lbs of potatoes.. I was truly wondering if they would hold up for french fries 🍟 plus i found another apple slicer at the thrift store for $3 going to take the slicer off an call it my veg peeler.. 😂 much love an Blessings 🥰
What a great find!!! I do french fries, wedges, chunks, and new potatoes.... any way I can think of to can a potato that way they don't spoil before I can use them. It is so much cheaper to get them in bulk, so sometimes I spend a weekend peeling and canning or dehydrating potatoes.
When we dehydrate potatoes we collect the potato starch off the raw potato soak , dry it and use it instead of buying potato starch. Just another use from those wonderful potatoes.
Wow! I will have to try this next time I get potatoes! I just found your channel. New subscriber! Also new at pressure canning. I pressure canned split pea soup two days ago using my All American Pressure Canner that was sitting on a high self in my laundry room mocking me for the last two or three years! I finally got the courage to try and recipe in my never used Canner and it turned out wonderful!
Wow, I was so excited when I heard you say Veg-O-Matic! My father brought one home for my mother when I was a kid and I thought it was the coolest thing. My mother made fries a couple times a week for six kids so this was a time saver. Actually she ended up preferring a paring knife and cutter her own but I was more than happy to use the Veg-O-Matic so I did more often than not. Of course it looked different but what a blast from the past. I am going to do the fries like this. I have watched enough people doing the potatoes this way so I'm going to try it. I myself very rarely eat fries but I will eat one out of every jar so it won't be just my husband taking on the challenge. Lol, (sorry I shouldn't make light of it.)
I have never been included in Canuary or any of the playlists, even though I have submitted videos for a few of them. I am not sure why I get left off, but I just assumed it was because I am a rebel canner and not everyone agrees with rebel canning. I would love to participate, though.
I have just found your you tube page.. I certainly hope you are still making videos. I can't stop watching lol. So many good recipes and how to videos on canning. I like your style. :)
Hi. Newbie here. I'm wondering why didn't you blanch your French frie potatoes. I thought you said potatoes will turn black or brown if you don't blanch. Great videos, ideas and recipes. I've been watching now for about 2 hours. Taking notes. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas. God bless. Donna
Glad to see this. Another great use for an apple peeler. I am canning sweet pickled peppers today along with some several jars of tomato sauce. Also made some pickled eggs for the refrigerator. Thanks for the video.
I love multi-tasking kitchen gadgets! Pickled eggs sound good. as soon as I have the last of my beets from the jar in my fridge, I am going to start some for myself.
I am so happy I wanted to see your video for a refresher before doing this- I completely forgot about using the apple peeler- I could just bear hug you!🥰
OMG that looks so easy cause the last thing I made was also french fries and done by hand from start end someday I will get something like this I hope . Love your videos
My hands just don't hold up to long peeling sessions like they used to. I can push my way through but the next day... they let me know about it!! The peeler makes it so much easier!
Girl, I feel your pain about short girl problems. Lol I'm 4'10", my man is 6' and swears I'm 4'6" hahahaha. It's definitely a tall people world. Canned french fries....GENIUS! I'm anxious to watch your video when you cook your fries. Love your videos. Thanks for all you do. ♡♡♡
Thank you so much!! I love the canned fries. Quick and easy to pull together dinner, and I know exactly what is in them... I have burgers and fries coming up on my menu in a week or so, so I will definitely record a video so you guys can see how they turn out.
This is great. They look wonderful. I am going to try this but just an fyi you don't need to sterilize jars when being processed ten minutes or longer both pressure and water bath. Thanks for the video.
technically, you cannot sterilize a jar in a home kitchen. You can sanitize them with hot soapy water and a boiling water rinse, which I do for all jars. then I either hot pack immediately or let them cool for cold packing.
I never even thought of the other vegetable to peel. But watching you and having one of those I'm recalling the dread doing a 5lb bag this am w/a peeler. NEVER AGAIN.
Thank you for this video - I was wondering after seeing another utuber can fries with salt what would happen if I canned without salt. Yes -- your video popped up. I can do fries without salt. I'm so happy. Going to can pints at end of month if I haven't gone in for surgery by then. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU from grandma Katie in Oregon
I bought myself a Rotato, it does the same thing but it plugs in! No rotating anything. Thanks for the video. I am going to can some potatoes tomorrow and I wanted something new. Sounds perfect!
I Love "Short Girl" issues...😂 Me Too. I also just purchase a cutting tool. Otherwise just the thought would be too overwhelming...tendure wrist and hands. Thank You🙂
Yahoo!!! I love this!! I'm a new canner. Just a year. I also just started dehydrating. Love it too. Had an epic FAIL the other day Dry canning a bunch of dehydrated veggies. I put them in the oven with no lids at 225 for 15 minutes. Put lids on and back in the over for an hour and every thing burnt inside my jars. I dont know why.... I wanted to cry. I had 20 jars that is now ruined. That's alot of drying time, food😥 If you have any ideas why....please tell me. I'm still upset.
when you put them back in the oven with the lids you should lower your temperature as low as it goes - usually around 100 or 125. They might still burn, even that low. I would suggest either vacuum sealing (if you have a sealer and attachment) or invest in a small package of oxygen absorbers. Then you can just drop an absorber in and it will seal your jar up.
I have never tried, but when I can sweet potatoes they get pretty soft. Next time I can sweet potatoes I might try canning a couple of jars of fries to see how they hold up. You could always test just a couple of jars to see how they turn out. my first batch of french fries was 2 jars because I wasn't sure how they would fry up after canning. Now I do them 10 to 15 pounds at a time....
I wonder how the texture would be. I've tried canning potatoes using various ways. I have never been able to can potatoes and keep good texture. What I have is eatable,,, but you can not mash them.
canned potatoes seem too starchy for mashing - they become gummy. I make PLAIN mashed potatoes then dehydrate them and break them into instant potato granules. I season and add butter and sour cream/milk when I reconstitute them. Works just like the instant packets you get in the store, but tastes so much better. The fries are actually great - think Pomme Frite...
I honestly don't know, I have not tried, but I don't see why not. sweet potatoes might get a little softer that white potatoes in the processing, so I would be very gentle taking them out of the jar.
I have canned chunk potatoes before. But I dry can them. Do you see a problem dry canning these? Also do you think you can do frozen fries? Just wondered if they would hold up.
I have never tried. My suggestion is to try a jar or two - you still need to use the times for potatoes. you will know when you open them if they are going to be mush...
@@FyreflyesFollies I'll try and let you know how they turn out. I figured that the canning time would be the same; I just don't feel like peeling and cutting. Thanks again and God Bless!
Personal preference. I have dry canned potatoes, and will again, but I find that I really only like them for potatoes that I am going to eat in a "roasted" method, and don't care for them fried. Again, personal preference.
thank you for sharing.. I will try to make them..the time in the pressure cooker (35 min) depends on your altitude or is it a standard time for the type of cut? Thank you!!!
It is the standard time for potatoes, regardless of the altitude and how you choose to cut them. My pressure is 11 pounds by gauge or 10 pounds by weight at my altitude, but that could be different for you.
I went to walmart to look for the cheese, not available, shelves where they have the large family size containers was just about empty. I did get a 6 lb can of Busch chili beans. I am canning those tonight.
Coming soon! I am starting a "what's for dinner" series soon using items from my pantry so viewers can see how they turn out. Patty Melt and fries are on the menu soon, as well as omelet and home fries.
May I ask opinions please ... somehow I wrote down that I could just rinse soak rinse soak potatoes and can (not boil them first) ... yes, I am VERY new to this. So I have some jars but they are 1"chunks :( not french fries. Should I toss them?? They are yellow potatoes I don't know if that makes a difference. Help please
I have severe nerve damage in my hands where I can barely feel but I have a significant amount of nerve pain. I got myself one of these a while ago but didn't know about the blade! Duh!!
One day when I was cleaning it after doing a bushel of apples I realized that piece came off, so then it was just a peeler. I have been using that way ever since. It is not a perfect peeling if they are lumpy, but it is so much better to slip a small peel spot than to have to peel a whole potato!
IDEA! My mom was 5’2” and always got burned on the hot canners…. She finally made a wooden stool with a long handle to make it easy to move around, she easily could get jars out of the pots when standing on the stool.
That is a great idea! I am not sure how to go about it, but will definitely check into it. Would be a great way to share ideas among rebel canners here on YT.
Okay I've been canning for a couple years now how have I not found you!❤
I never thought of using my apple peeler for taters. It was a "coulda had a v8 moment". Lol. Thanks!

I’m wondering the “why” behind choosing not to use hot water in both the jars and canner vs using room temp water? Thank you
I have just always used room temperature water for canning potatoes. I try to always use everything at the same temp - hot, room temp, or cold.
This is simply genius!! And they look so pretty!! Do you have a potato preference or do they all turn out the same??

Just subscribed. Loving it. What do you do with the peels? Could you deep fry them?
I’m short and use a one step stool to get my jars out. That way no burnt arms or slamming the jars against the canner🥰

Great video! Why don't you place a kitchen towel under the dish you have your peeler in to prevent it from sliding around?
I pack my green beans this way, as my grandmother and mother did!
I also pack my asparagus this way.
I wonder how the texture would be. I've tried canning potatoes using various ways.
I have never been able to can potatoes and keep good texture.
What I have is eatable,,, but you can not mash them.
canned potatoes seem too starchy for mashing - they become gummy. I make PLAIN mashed potatoes then dehydrate them and break them into instant potato granules. I season and add butter and sour cream/milk when I reconstitute them. Works just like the instant packets you get in the store, but tastes so much better. The fries are actually great - think Pomme Frite...
I just found this video! Awesome! Would this work well for sweet potato fries? We don't eat a lot of white potatoes, because of diabetes.
I honestly don't know, I have not tried, but I don't see why not. sweet potatoes might get a little softer that white potatoes in the processing, so I would be very gentle taking them out of the jar.
I did sweet potatoes, now will canne my white one so busy lately.
That slicer looks like it is easier to use than the plastic one that my husband bought me. I can’t push it down enough to cut through a potato.
it is the veg-o-matic... and I love it! Ronco Veg-O-Matic Deluxe amzn.to/35xbiU3
Is it necessary to peel the potatoes? I like the skins on my fries...
No, it is not. I have canned both ways. I prefer my fries without the skins so I peel them.
I have canned chunk potatoes before. But I dry can them. Do you see a problem dry canning these? Also do you think you can do frozen fries? Just wondered if they would hold up.
Are the fries mushy after canning them?
Straight from the jar they are soft (think boiled potatoes) but they fry up great.
Short girl issues lol. I also burn myself AND omg the shoulder workout!
Can you do quarts? If so how long would you pressure can them?
Can sweet potatoes be done the same way for fries? Thank You so much.
Yes, but be careful taking them out of the jar. They get softer than regular potatoes when you can them.
And does it work with fresh potatoes from the garden. Can I leave the skins on
Yes it does and yes you can, just scrub them really well.
Have you ever canned store bought frozen hashbrowns after they are thawed out. I don't have the freezer space to keep them
I have not canned them but I do dehydrate them and store them on a shelf.
Question: Is it possible to can store bought frozen fries? Thanks for now.
I have never tried. My suggestion is to try a jar or two - you still need to use the times for potatoes. you will know when you open them if they are going to be mush...
@@FyreflyesFollies I'll try and let you know how they turn out. I figured that the canning time would be the same; I just don't feel like peeling and cutting. Thanks again and God Bless!
Did I miss you telling us what kind of potatoes you use? Russets?
Could you tell me why you went the wet method instead of the dry method in canning your potatoes?
Personal preference. I have dry canned potatoes, and will again, but I find that I really only like them for potatoes that I am going to eat in a "roasted" method, and don't care for them fried. Again, personal preference.
Can u tell me the brand name of your French fry cutter? I'm going crazy trying to find it 😆
Sure, it is the veg-o-matic. Ronco Veg-O-Matic Deluxe amzn.to/35xbiU3

thank you for sharing.. I will try to make them..the time in the pressure cooker (35 min) depends on your altitude or is it a standard time for the type of cut? Thank you!!!
It is the standard time for potatoes, regardless of the altitude and how you choose to cut them. My pressure is 11 pounds by gauge or 10 pounds by weight at my altitude, but that could be different for you.
I went to walmart to look for the cheese, not available, shelves where they have the large family size containers was just about empty. I did get a 6 lb can of Busch chili beans. I am canning those tonight.
my store shelves are getting pretty bare again, too.
I found the cheese sauce at Sam's. They still have it so if you are a member order it online. Enjoy I did it's great having it on the pantry shelf.
how much water to put in the canner? I have the same size canner
My canner instruction call for 3 quarts in the canner, but double check your owners manual.
Is the pressure canning boiling before you put the cans
Can fries be done using the dry canning method?
Would love to see a video in an air fryer. So curious if these really turn out crispy
Coming soon! I am starting a "what's for dinner" series soon using items from my pantry so viewers can see how they turn out. Patty Melt and fries are on the menu soon, as well as omelet and home fries.
@@FyreflyesFollies yay 😀 so excited :)
Can you use less water in jars to can up?
May I ask opinions please ... somehow I wrote down that I could just rinse soak rinse soak potatoes and can (not boil them first) ... yes, I am VERY new to this. So I have some jars but they are 1"chunks :( not french fries. Should I toss them?? They are yellow potatoes I don't know if that makes a difference. Help please
the apple peeler makes great curly fried
and amazing spiral cut fried potato on a stick (and I have also done spiral cut zucchini on a stick) like you can get at the fair.
I have severe nerve damage in my hands where I can barely feel but I have a significant amount of nerve pain. I got myself one of these a while ago but didn't know about the blade! Duh!!
One day when I was cleaning it after doing a bushel of apples I realized that piece came off, so then it was just a peeler. I have been using that way ever since. It is not a perfect peeling if they are lumpy, but it is so much better to slip a small peel spot than to have to peel a whole potato!
If I have frozen steak fries can they be canned if they have been frozen
To be perfectly honest, I do not know. I have never tried canning frozen potatoes. You could always test can a jar or two and see how they turn out.
How would you do potatoes for later mashing?
What is the pressure you use? 10 psi?
IDEA! My mom was 5’2” and always got burned on the hot canners…. She finally made a wooden stool with a long handle to make it easy to move around, she easily could get jars out of the pots when standing on the stool.
How long do you process for quarts?
Process pints for 35 minutes or quarts for 40 minutes, adjusting for your altitude.
Have you ever dry canned your french fries? I was watching a video on it.
TY..I knew this was Doable!
Yes, it is definitely doable!! and convenient!!
Been nice if you would shown how they fry it…. Thanks
I amgoing to be doing some "cooking from my pantry" videos and will definitely include the fries.
You should have a rebel canning collaboration
That is a great idea! I am not sure how to go about it, but will definitely check into it. Would be a great way to share ideas among rebel canners here on YT.
What does it mean to be a rebel canner? Loved your video and plan on trying it. We love potatoes.
What blade did you remove?
I took the core removing blade (the circle) off. That way it doesn't spiral slice and core the potatoes. Mine is held on with a wing nut.
Is it 15 pounds of pressure or 10 ?
Pressure is according to your elevation.
