Jarred Potatoes

50 pounds of potatoes will fill 35 quart jars

When working with the potatoes, keep any peeled ones in cold water as you work

Peel and remove any dark spots from potatoes, hold in cold water

Chop potatoes into 1/2-1 inch chunks, hold in cold water as you work

Rinse with fresh water as needed to remove starch

In a large pot, bring water to a boil

Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt to each quart jar or 1/2 teaspoon to each pint jar

Fill jars with potatoes up to a 1 inch head space

Add boiling water to each jar

Remove air bubbles, add more water to bring it back to 1 inch headspace

Wipe rim, apply lid and ring

Process pints at 11 pounds pressure for 35 minutes, quarts for 40 minutes

After 24 hours have passed, remove rings and wash jars

Label jars with date and store. Do not stack jars

 

Here are a few great ways to use this potatoes.

They are ready to go for Potato Salad.

Boil them for a few minutes and then you can mash them for mashed potatoes.

They are mostly cooked so I even put them in crock pot meals, but half way through instead of the beginning.

They are very convenient to have on hand.

I also use them in dishes like this….

We stopped by the Voodoo grill for lunch on the Saturday of the Sailfest Fireworks, July 2015.  There was a sign on the door that said they would be closed that night so that their staff could attend the festivities.  Wish the places I worked appreciated family time like they did.

Our grandson ordered the Mac N’ Cheese with Fries $5.50

Nice sized portion and lots of flavor.  My only complaint about his meal was the crock that the Mac N Cheese was served in was blazing hot!  We had to ask for another plate to scoop it out so he didn’t get burned on it.

Ed ordered the Southwestern Wrap $10.95 with a side of slaw

I ordered the VooDoo Crispy Chicken Wrap $10.95 with side of onion rings

Meals and service were good.

If you can find on-street parking, grab it!  If not, there is a pay parking lot across the street.  Fair in price so take a walk downtown to work off your meal and watch the drawbridge go up while you enjoy an ice cream cone from one of the local shops.
