Favorite Canned Potatoes Recipe

I used Kennebec variety, Russets are a great variety for canning too.

We love these potatoes so much better that potatoes canned in water!

Servings 7 Quarts

Ingredients

5-8 lbs Potatoes
2-3 TBS Ghee or Butter
1 TBS Salt
2 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Butter PER JAR
1/2 tsp Salt PER JAR
1/4 tsp Pepper PER JAR

Instructions

Scrub or peel approx. 5-8 LBS. of potatoes
Cut them so that they are all the same size (I like 1” cubes)
Cover potatoes with cold water and let set for 4-6 hours, This removes some of the starch and keeps the canned potatoes more firm.
Drain and dry the potatoes and toss them with: 2-3 TBS ghee (or melted butter), 1 TBS salt, 2 Tsp black pepper
Alternatively: Add to each jar: Potaoes, 1 tsp butter, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper
Place into pressure canner. Allow steam to escape for 5-8 minutes before closing valve or adding weight. 11 lbs pressure for 40 minutes.
