Using paper towel, or a clean canning dish towel, pat potatoes dry.

Doing so helps them retain their fleshy color during storage. If canning Russet potatoes, repeat this process to pull as much starch from the Russet potatoes as possible. Let sit for one hour, then drain and rinse well in a colander.

Place the cut potatoes into a large stock pot and cover with water.

I cut mine in 1-1/2 inch cubes for frying.

Dice the potatoes into the size you wish to see on the end of your fork or used in recipes.

You may also peel your potatoes if you do not desire the skins be left on.

After scrubbing the entire potato well, rinse again in fresh running water. Be sure to remove any dry rot, eyes or sprouts from the potatoes exterior.

Thoroughly scrub your potatoes with a vegetable brush under running water.35 medium size Russet, Red or Yellow Skin Potatoes.If wishing to slice, make fries, approximately 28 medium potatoes are needed if shredding, you will need approximately 70 medium potatoes. This recipe is written for diced potatoes.

Feel free to slice, dice, make French fries or shred your potatoes. These make the BEST fried potatoes on the planet! Because they are not canned in water, the potatoes retain their shape and integrity, and can be used successfully in a variety of recipes like homemade potato salad, soups and casseroles. And yes, each jar is processed according to their respective PSI and length of time. The method of Dry Packing is merely eliminating the instructional step of covering the food ingredient with water and raw packing the food dry to the required headspace. However, as most of us know, meat such as beef, chicken, turkey, and pork required no water in the jar to successfully process the foods with heat, so why not attempt it with root crops, which after all, do contain water within their fibers. Many believed doing so “helped the thermal process” which is a fancy way of say, it helped the heat penetrate through the food in jars. More often than not, canning recipes require canners to fully cover foods with a liquid prior to processing. Thank you Ronald!! Dry Packing Method Explained As I said, I merely took the baton and crossed the finish-line to show everyone, 1) leaving your skin on the potato is safe so long as you thoroughly scrub and rinse your potatoes prior to starting the recipe and 2) the dry pack canning method is safe and effective in home canning. Intrigued, I made several batches myself, tweaking the process and type of potato used, then had them laboratory tested.

Ronald McGhghy, the pioneer and fellow member of the private Facebook Group, Canning Rebels, shared this amazing process with all of us back in 2019.

The weighted gauge is 15 PSI for all foods.This recipe post has been a loooong time coming! But before I share the processes and various ingredients I personally used to create multiple batches of this dry packed potato recipe, I want to start by giving credit where credit is due.

The dial gauge is 11 PSI for all foods.

Head space is often 1 inch but varies for some foods.

Jar size is either pints or quarts, but some foods have both jar sizes listed.

The style of pack is either hot or raw, but some foods have both packing styles listed.

Process time is the most notable variable to pay attention to.

The reference chart below shows style of pack, jar size, head space, process time, dial gauge and weighted gauge for pressure canning low-acid foods. Once pressure is raised to the required pressure and stabilized, timing begins according to chart.įor more complete canning instructions, refer to the National Center for Home Food Preservation.

Time assumes a full 10-minute exhausting of the pressure canner. The processing times and methods are adjusted for Minnesota altitudes of 1001-2000 feet. This chart is provided for experienced canners familiar with safe canning methods.
