These ready-to-use potatoes are perfect for soups, stews, casseroles, mashed potatoes, or crispy home fries whenever you need them!<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients (Per Quart Jar)<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>8\u201310 small to medium potatoes<\/li>\n<li>1\u00bd teaspoons canning salt<\/li>\n<li>1\u00bd tablespoons butter (optional)<\/li>\n<li>Boiling water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Instructions<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Prepare the Potatoes<\/h3>\n<p>Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove all dirt. Peel them if desired, especially if using larger potatoes. Small potatoes can be left whole, while larger ones should be cut into evenly sized pieces. To help prevent discoloration and remove excess starch, soak the potatoes in cool water while preparing the jars.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Pack the Jars<\/h3>\n<p>Fill clean, hot quart jars with the potatoes, leaving <strong>1 inch of headspace<\/strong>. Add <strong>1\u00bd teaspoons canning salt<\/strong> and <strong>1\u00bd tablespoons butter<\/strong> (optional) to each jar.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Add Hot Water &amp; Seal<\/h3>\n<p>Pour boiling water over the potatoes, maintaining the 1-inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles, adjust the headspace if needed, and wipe the jar rims with white vinegar or a clean damp cloth. Place the lids on the jars and tighten the bands until fingertip tight.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Pressure Can<\/h3>\n<p>Process the jars in a <strong>pressure canner<\/strong> at <strong>10 pounds of pressure (PSI)<\/strong> for <strong>40 minutes<\/strong> for quart jars. Adjust the pressure according to your altitude if necessary.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Cool &amp; Store<\/h3>\n<p>Allow the pressure canner to depressurize naturally. Carefully remove the jars and let them cool undisturbed for <strong>12\u201324 hours<\/strong>. Check that each lid has sealed properly, label the jars with the date, and store them in a cool, dark place.<\/p>\n<h2>To Serve<\/h2>\n<p>Drain the potatoes and heat them as desired.
