What I do is a quadruple rinse in cold water and than let the potatoes sit in as cold as water as I can get (without ice) for an hour or two. I have always done it this way for potatoes, as I really hate the starch in the finished product. Great video! Thank you.
I can potatoes all the time and have never had a problem with sludgy starch, but I never Russets - only Yukon Gold. Our favorite recipe is the herbed potatoes from the Ball book - chunks canned in chicken broth with herbs. They are delicious drained and roasted quickly until crispy; and they make the most delicious mashed or potato soup!
Love canned potatoes, especially Yukon Gold. Added bonus: less starch means the potatoes do not stick to the skillet as bad when you make fried potatoes. YUM! Thank you for another amazing video!
My mother and dad moved a box three different times before we finally opened it and it was mustard pickles about 10 years old. My dad said they were the best mustard pickles ever
After watching your other video on canning potatoes, I canned a bunch of Yukon gold. I drain and rinse them like you would beans and they are good chopped and fried with onions or chopped and put in stew. I love them mashed, too. I’ll give another rinse, or two, until the water is clear like you’ve just shown. Thank you for doing the canning series. I love them and they make me feel as if I can do anything. 💕
I always raw pack and cut the potatoes in 1/2 lengthwise and rinse the potatoes in the jars 3 times. Barely any starch. To do mash potatoes, I warm up the canned potatoes (microwave) and use a ricer then add my butter etc. Do not over mix. This is the only way I can do mashed potatoes and looks great, taste great!!!!!
Thanks for revisiting potato canning. My earlier results from canning potatoes left me quite unhappy with the end product, so I’m going to give it another go after watching your video. Thanks to you Pam and Jim for all the time you invest in teaching us.
I have never had starch in my canned potatoes. Now, the ones that were raw and not blanched that went into beef stew in canning jars have some starch but Im fine with it. You can also use the ones that you arent happy with to dehydrate and turn into potato powder for mashed potatoes, potato bread recipes, etc. I soak my raw potatoes over night to get a lot of the starch out of them
I was just talking to my partner about the potatoes I canned, and how much starch was in the jars. Its icky! Thank you for this video. Love your blouse too!
Hi Pam! I wanted to let you know you can get pint and a half canning jars from Azure Standard. Both wife mouth and regular. It's just the 2 of us (unless the kids are here with the grandbabies). They are a great size! Just did a batch of potatoes and followed the NCHFP instructions, including the citric acid. They look beautiful in the jars! No starch can be seen. I love your videos! Thank you!
I have ckd & learned to do this to potatoes to leach out most of the phosphates/phosphorous in them which are bad for you. I will be a newcomer to canning & had wondered about this. I'm also a carnivore this past year, so I've been most interested in canning different meats. I still plan on veggies in case I have to go keto carnivore to extend my meats when prices get too high or for family. I highly recommend the carnivore diet. I'm 73, lost 40#'s so far & off my meds.
Your hair color and the blouse you are wearing is beautiful. Thank you for sharing canning potatoes. Always fun to watch you with food storage strategies. Thank Jim as well.
My favorite way to eat canned potatoes is coating them in seasoned flour and frying them . The flour keeps them from falling apart when being fried and makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside 😋
So happy you addressed the starch issue I had decided to not can potatoes agin you’ve changed my mind. When I have a question regarding safe canning I go to your videos, 9 times out of 10 you have the safe answer Thank you
When cutting my potatoes I fill a quart or pint jar as I go before soaking as a way to measure how many quarts or pints I will need. Eliminating the guesswork as to how many I will process.
Happy New Year, guys! I actually used your last video canning potatoes and did an extra soak on top of yours, they came out perfect! TY for all you guys do for us! What an awesome TEAM you two are
Love that popping sound! I just canned 10 -10 pound bags of russets. I did what you did as far as rinsing them twice but I have just a few with a cloudy look to them. But of course that’s just starch and they’re fine. ❤
Pam you have the best channel on yt. I was telling some friends online about your video on black kitchen utensils...one told me that she watches you too. She lives in Nashville...didnt realize she watches you too. I hope you and Jim have a very blessed day. ❤
Another great video! I am new to canning, and my pressure canner arrived last week. I'm super excited to try this recipe. Thank you for all the wonderful content you've provided!!😊
Welcome to the world of canning! I have all of 4 years experience now ( still feel like a new canner). One of the best things I can is vegetable beef soup. Just prepare vegetables like she says, cut up your beef (chicken etc), I like to brown it a little (few minutes), put it all together and can for the beef which is the longest time (90 minutes for quarts with meat). The vegetables are fine and are not soggy. If you don't use potatoes in the canning, just put a pot on the stove of egg noodles, rice etc and add those AFTER the canning process. This makes a hardier bowl of soup. Best wishes!
I have large "French fry" cutter that has several different blades. Cut potatoes lengthwise in stripsthen use a dicer to cube them. Speeds up that process.
That is the method I use when i dehydrate my potato slices. I did can some and have that starch. Could that goop be dehydrated for potato starch?? I was pondering this exact thought and would live to hear your thoughts.
Wonder if one can dehydrate potato starch. Sometimes gluten free recipes call for potato starch, which I hesitate to go out and buy a bag of Of Bob's Mill potato starch as I have corn starch, modified corn starch, tapioca flour, , and arrowroot flour...they all seem to have different flavor profiles, well....the corn starches taste the same but modified one I use in canning recipes, other for other things fresh made.
THANK YOU! This is wonderful news. I will use this method as soon as I have some organic potatoes! I have referred canners to your channel, and now I can say it can be done with just a few more steps!
Awesome video ❤ thanks Pam and Jim. You are both amazing and great mentors to newbie canners like me. I canned potatoes for the first time a few weeks ago and they look good. I will be canning more following these recommendations to soak and rinse extra before I can. Keep those great tips and videos coming, I appreciate everything you share ❤
Awesome vudeo. Glad I now know how to can russet potatoes. In my stew I have used reds and haven't done just potatoes as relatives had bad experiences. New ball game now.
Thank you Pam and Jim! I canned potatoes for the first time last year, and really do love them!! We grow potato, but do not have optimum storage for them. Come January, potato canning is part of my game. Looking forward to trying this new method for less starch. Appreciate all you do!
Prof Pam ⚘️ Prof Jim💛 Thank you for this video. I stopped canning potatoes as they were just mush...I will now rinse much more....Thank you, I will try again. Always #teamcantrell❤
I made pototo salad just the other day, using the canned potato’s I did using youre last video. I will be sure to do the extra steps you showed today, for next time. Thank you both once again
Hi Pam. This is a very helpful tutorial. I’ve been wanting to can potatoes and now I’m going to give it a try. I watched a video about a year ago on dry canning potatoes. But if you think about it there is not one thing you buy from a store that is canned without liquid. Thanks so much ❤
Hi I am writing to you about two things. You have helped me a lot in the past and I hope you will this time too. I trust you and know that you do your research well before passing on information. But before that. I saw that you were struggling with the jar opener and you were unable to open the jar. No wonder it is a vacuum-sealed jar. First of all, you need to release the vacuum in the jar and you do this with an opener. You simply release the air, you hear a click like you release the vacuum in a canning jar, and then the jar opens without excessive force. I am 75 years old with arthritis and this is how I do it. Now for the request for help: I manage a quite rich pantry in BALL canning jars and my question is which products must be vacuum sealed and which should not be vacuum sealed to avoid botulism. I understand that these are products that contain moisture or fat but I am not sure, for example sesame seeds and others. or is it not good to vacuum seal at all. simply to close tightly and that is it. I open with an old and simple opener that works for everything thank you Osnat Laster
Unfortunately, i canned my home-grown potatoes a week or so ago and they now look like the jar you originally showed with all the starch. My jars came out with clear water but by the next day the water went cloudy. Next time i will follow this process :)
I just love how you explain your canning 👏 I send many people over to your channel! I have a question for you. I've been canning for over 50 years (started when I was the one with the smallest hand to wash the inside of jars 😂 and in 4-H) is there really anything wrong with having starch besides I can see you find it disgusting from a visual perspective. As kids we bought a can from the store and it had starch. We lived the different flavor the potatoes have after being canned. We now after harvesting potatoes, sort them by size and we peel all the little ones and can them. I guess after watching you I feel lazy, although I have 5 kids at home yet and a dairy farm, canning, freeze drying, gardening, and lawn. I raw pack and don't give the starch that builds up a second thought.😅
Thank you. I noticed that potatoes are starting to go on sale lately. Right time of year to be canning. So far this week, we have 36 pounds of chicken and pork canned and ready for storage. End of the year purchase with our insurance debit card, use it or lose it.
I sometimes use potato starch when I make gluten free bread. I wonder if I couldn't dehydrate the starch from this process. Or what you'd pour off after canning. Next time I can potatoes, I'll try it.
This lesson was great!! I've canned most of my life and had the starchy potato results. 🤣 I've got extra taters from the garden this year and am canning your way today. I want to make that potato sour cream bread of yours. 😊 I also brought home a rescue dog a few weeks ago and she eats what we eat. Can't afford dog food these days. Meat, veggies, and taters are our go-to. 😉
I love your content, and you have enticed me to relearn how to use pressure canning after I learned it in my childhood but ignored it until I hit 50. Random questions: Do other countries have food storage guidelines for canning or is it just the US/Canada and other small pockets where they use the same information? Would love to see what other recipes from different places are like.
Question about green spots on potatoes. If I peel down until there's no green, can I use the potato? I read somewhere (don't remember where) that green potatoes can be dangerous. I've always peeled any green off but I'm wondering if I can still can them once that green is gone. I have a whole bunch of potatoes that are starting to sprout and I wanted to can them but the last 2 I peeled had some green.
I’ve been confused about something when canning potatoes. I’m in a safe canning fb group and a lot of people have said they don’t like the hot pack method but since that’s the only method for plain potatoes they do the Ball recipe herb potato which is raw pack and leave out the herbs since that would be a ball approved change. If that can be done that way why doesn’t all the canning resources just list a hot pack or raw pack way of doing plain potatoes or is everyone not supposed to be leaving out the herbs? I know it sounds like a stupid question but if you have to follow exactly to be safe thus one confuses me. Maybe I’m just overthinking it
Hello, kind of off topic but can I dehydrate fresh pasta and store in a Mason jar with O2 absorbers safely? Thanks for answering so many conflicting answers I found. Wanted to go to someone I trust
I've never canned potatoes because I've always thought the pressure canning would over cook them. I herard you say you've used these for mashed potatoes. I've freeze dried cooked potatoes and turned them into powder for mashed potatoes and that that works well. What else can you make with canned potatoes?
I do'nt see why you can't use them for hash browns, fries (if you cut them into strips instead of cubes), potato pancakes, or just classic mashed potatoes.
I just started canning this fall I have had multiple jars not seal. I canned beef that was in my freezer that needed to be used and a batch of tomatoes that were from my garden that I frozen this fall. I had a one jar not seal in the tomato batch and one jar in two different beef batches. Brand new jars and lids.. I cleaned the rims really well. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any one knows what I did wrong?
I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this question but I have some green beans that were canned about 1975. Do you think that I should try them or just throw them in them out?
Thank you so much for doing this video, I almost gave up on canning potatoes because of the starch issue. Also, Pam or Jim, can you tell me if the kettle you are using is the MegaChef Kettle? Tried a couple of kettles from Amazon and have been really disappointed and I have been wanting to ask you which ones you use. Honestly, I've been using my old campfire coffee pot to heat water in until I find a kettle I like. Thanks!
Pam, that blouse is perfect with your hair color! You look wonderful! Do you have a gadget that would test the glycemic index (GI) of the rinsed, canned potatoes? My current understanding is that fried potatoes have a GI of 95, baked have a GI of 85, and boiled have a GI of 50. Another way to lower the GI is to cool and reheat them. As super-rinsed, pressure-canned potatoes have been cooled and reheated to eat, it seems that their GI should be lower than 50. If you don't have such a gadget, does one exist at a reasonable price? Thanks for all you do!
Since you can with no salt. I can with very little salt quarter of a teaspoon for a pint half a teaspoon for a quart. And only because I thought you had to use salt to can I do not like artificial sweeteners and I am pre-diabetic, I need to know how can I can fruit with little to no sugar and does it work
Canning fruit without sugar does work - theoretically. Omitting the sugar does not change the pH and you can can it safely in a waterbath. I can't recommend it, though as the natural sugars by osmosis diffuse from the fruit into the water and your fruit is going to taste quite sour. You should as a starting point have the same concentration of sugar in the water as there is in the fruit.
I had about 1/4-1/3 of the water siphoning out, but the lids all sealed on my quart jars. I apparently opened the lid of the canner too soon after depressurization. Are my potatoes still safe?
If doing the triple soak method to relieve the starch and then instead of cooking the potatoes for two minutes, put them in the jar with cold water and process them like a cold pack. Is it safe? Several people on the comments have talked about raw pack I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant. So I’m asking this question.
Question, why or what's reason for boiling for 2min? I love having some starch in mine bc it works as thickener. That's one step I get to skip when cooking. 😂❤
Can you do this method safely with a cold pack method for even better results? (Wouldn't mind water bath method if it works) Also, we love sweet potato fries in our air fryer. Would love a video on preparing them for the freezer.
I've heard of benefits of resistant starches, as well as lower oxylates when potatoes have been boiled. Does anyone know if this process undoes any of these benefits?
I always dice my potatoes smaller than you do, and all the starch comes out. My potatoes are in clear water in my jars. Russet potatoes have much more starch than Kennebec or gold or red potatoes.
Soaking reduces more than starch...i've had dialysis patients soak potatoes to leach some potassium so it doesn't mess up their numbers for an occasional treat of mashed potatoes.
What I do is a quadruple rinse in cold water and than let the potatoes sit in as cold as water as I can get (without ice) for an hour or two. I have always done it this way for potatoes, as I really hate the starch in the finished product.
Great video! Thank you.
When i want to can something, this is the place i check. Thank you Pam for all you do to make canning safe!! ♥
USDA has .pdfs you can download for all types of food preservation. Paid for by our tax dollars.
Wow what a beautiful blouse! Thanks for all your hard work. We appreciate you so very much! 😊
I agree. You look especially pretty today! Colors in your blouse complement your skin and hair so well.
I agree it’s beautiful& works well with your skin & hair. You look lovely.
I came here to say the same!!!
Ditto your blouses are all beautiful would be willing to share with us your secret maker?
The sound of lids sealing is music to the canning person's ears. 😊
I love your video’s. You are so kind and interesting. I am 72 years old and love how you are moving and happy. Thank you
Thank you Pam! I almost quit canning potatoes, due to the starch issue. I will try this method from now on…stay safe and stay warm!
Same for me, ready to try again.
I can potatoes all the time and have never had a problem with sludgy starch, but I never Russets - only Yukon Gold.

Hi Pam! I wanted to let you know you can get pint and a half canning jars from Azure Standard. Both wife mouth and regular. It's just the 2 of us (unless the kids are here with the grandbabies). They are a great size! Just did a batch of potatoes and followed the NCHFP instructions, including the citric acid. They look beautiful in the jars! No starch can be seen. I love your videos!

You can also bread them with Panko.
Thanks for sharing. I canned up some potatoes that ended up with starch in them. I rinse in a colander and their fine. I use a lot for 🥔 salad.
I can my potatoes the same way except that I cut them as fries. That way I can air fry some fries or chop a little for soup or mash. Great video!

It can be used as starch. We use it for Latkes.
Great for mashed or making potato pancakes.

By the way, that potato water would be really good for your vegetables or for your potted plants rather
Pam, do you think salting the soak water would move the starch out of the potatoes faster? Osmosis and all that...

I do'nt see why you can't use them for hash browns, fries (if you cut them into strips instead of cubes), potato pancakes, or just classic mashed potatoes.
The favorite use at my house is fried (I rinse and coat with flour first.) or roasted with other veggies in the oven.
@@kaesmomFitzDehydrating works for hashbrowns. Soak them in an equal part of water for 15 minutes or so, drain, and cook 'em up.
You can make clamp chowder.

Have you ever made homemade chocolate sauce and is there a proper and safe way to can it? Just curious
So what should we do if we already canned pressure canned with skins on should we toss them?
Imho, rinse well and heat them well.

I just started canning this fall I have had multiple jars not seal. I canned beef that was in my freezer that needed to be used and a batch of tomatoes that were from my garden that I frozen this fall. I had a one jar not seal in the tomato batch and one jar in two different beef batches. Brand new jars and lids.. I cleaned the rims really well. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any one knows what I did wrong?
Ur lids might be defective
Many have switched to pricey lids so they don’t waste food as the affordable ones fail too often now.
Try using For Jars lids. I've never had one fail.
I've had real good luck with superb lids.i will not buy any Ball lids I do not have good luck with them
Can you freeze potatoes chunks?
I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this question but I have some green beans that were canned about 1975. Do you think that I should try them or just throw them in them out?
Thank you so much for doing this video, I almost gave up on canning potatoes because of the starch issue.
Also, Pam or Jim, can you tell me if the kettle you are using is the MegaChef Kettle? Tried a couple of kettles from Amazon and have been really disappointed and I have been wanting to ask you which ones you use. Honestly, I've been using my old campfire coffee pot to heat water in until I find a kettle I like. Thanks!
Can you drain off the starchy water into a container and save the starch when it settles?
Pam, that blouse is perfect with your hair color! You look wonderful! Do you have a gadget that would test the glycemic index (GI) of the rinsed, canned potatoes? My current understanding is that fried potatoes have a GI of 95, baked have a GI of 85, and boiled have a GI of 50. Another way to lower the GI is to cool and reheat them. As super-rinsed, pressure-canned potatoes have been cooled and reheated to eat, it seems that their GI should be lower than 50. If you don't have such a gadget, does one exist at a reasonable price? Thanks for all you do!
Since you can with no salt. I can with very little salt quarter of a teaspoon for a pint half a teaspoon for a quart. And only because I thought you had to use salt to can I do not like artificial sweeteners and I am pre-diabetic, I need to know how can I can fruit with little to no sugar and does it work
Canning fruit without sugar does work - theoretically. Omitting the sugar does not change the pH and you can can it safely in a waterbath. I can't recommend it, though as the natural sugars by osmosis diffuse from the fruit into the water and your fruit is going to taste quite sour.
You should as a starting point have the same concentration of sugar in the water as there is in the fruit.
I am curious if canned potatoes can be used to make potato salad, or would they be too mushy.
I had about 1/4-1/3 of the water siphoning out, but the lids all sealed on my quart jars. I apparently opened the lid of the canner too soon after depressurization. Are my potatoes still safe?
I wanted to ask, the burner you are using to boil the potatoes, is it big enough to use for water bath canning?
Water is very heavy so not sure if it would be safe to boil that much water on it. You would have to check the manual for weight capacity imho.
If doing the triple soak method to relieve the starch and then instead of cooking the potatoes for two minutes, put them in the jar with cold water and process them like a cold pack. Is it safe? Several people on the comments have talked about raw pack I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant. So I’m asking this question.
I hope your are staying warm and the cold front is not in your area, it seems like it has skirted around us,
How do you get canned potatoes and carrots that are safe but not MUSHY?
Question, why or what's reason for boiling for 2min? I love having some starch in mine bc it works as thickener. That's one step I get to skip when cooking. 😂❤
I do 20 pounds at a time. Change the water 3x and allow them to soak overnight in clean water. Then can . Zero starch and I use russets
Can you do this method safely with a cold pack method for even better results? (Wouldn't mind water bath method if it works) Also, we love sweet potato fries in our air fryer. Would love a video on preparing them for the freezer.
Potatoes are a low acid food..water bath processing wouldn't be safe :)
I've heard of benefits of resistant starches, as well as lower oxylates when potatoes have been boiled. Does anyone know if this process undoes any of these benefits?
Oxalates arent affected by boiling
❤
I always dice my potatoes smaller than you do, and all the starch comes out. My potatoes are in clear water in my jars. Russet potatoes have much more starch than Kennebec or gold or red potatoes.
Soaking reduces more than starch...i've had dialysis patients soak potatoes to leach some potassium so it doesn't mess up their numbers for an occasional treat of mashed potatoes.
