    Country kids have the most fun lives! Barefoot, mud puddle stomping, 4 wheeling, creek wading, bug-catching, fort building, and discovering the world with both hands. God bless your babies!!!

    Meaghan, you had said in one video “if you haven’t had a fresh potato right out of the garden, you don’t know what you’re missing.” Well! We dug just a few of our Yukon golds last Friday, cooked them up, and I was so proud. My first time growing potatoes. 👍🏻 Even my husband was impressed! 😂 so glad and grateful you all are ok. So many prayers for the people in West No Car and Tennessee. It sounds just awful. If you find a reputable, honest place where we can donate, please post it. Thank you. Hugs from So Cal. 🥰

    For the really big ones, I like to cut them on my French fry cutter and can them like that, with a tiny bit of calcium chloride in the jar and no salt, then pressure can them. Then, to prepare them, I just drain and rinse well, pat dry, dust in seasoned cornstarch, and air fry. Deeeelicious sweet potato fries😋

    If that sweet potato casserole tasted even half as good as it looked, it must have been extraordinary!

      Never canned sweet potatoes before. I dug mine seems like 3 days before you did. I always let mine cure a few weeks to naturally sweeten up before eating usually around Thanksgiving. Have you tried curing before canning or can you tell if it makes any difference? I know baking them there is a world of difference in eating them cured versus eating one fresh. Always good to stay away from dead trees after a lot of rain. One just fell in my back yard woods as I was writing this

With loss of power lately I've Ben pressure canning versus freezer. Too much to chance if power goes out. I like sneaking in some sweet potatoes in mashed potatoes 👍.
