We Grew 231 LBS of Potatoes… Now I’m Canning a Year’s Worth!

We grew 231 pounds of potatoes from just 40 pounds of seed potatoes — and now it’s time to preserve that harvest! 🥔🥫 Today I’m taking you from our incredible potato harvest all the way to the pantry as I show you how I hot pack and pressure can our homegrown potatoes for easy meals throughout the year. I managed to put up 28 quart jars in my first big canning day, but I’m not finished yet! I still have a LOT of potatoes waiting for me, and my goal is to get as close as possible to 100 quart jars before I’m done. Will 231 pounds of potatoes actually give our family close to a year’s supply? We’re about to find out! 😅 In this video, I’ll recap how we turned 40 pounds of seed potatoes into a 231-pound harvest, then take you into the kitchen as I peel, prepare, hot pack and pressure can them for our pantry. For our family, this is what growing our own food is really about. Grow it. Harvest it. Preserve it. Then enjoy the food we worked so hard to grow long after the garden season is over. 💚 ⚠️ Canning Safety: Always use a current, tested canning recipe and adjust pressure for your altitude and type of pressure canner. For this batch, I followed the tested National Center for Home Food Preservation instructions for pressure canning white potatoes. Quart jars are processed for 40 minutes, with the required pressure determined by your canner type and elevation. 🥔 Watch our original potato harvest video next:    • We Harvested 231 Pounds of Potatoes… and W...   🍅 Watch our complete garden harvesting and preserving playlist, beginning with our tomato-canning video:    • Homemade Beef Stock for Every Meal: A Comp...   If you enjoy growing your own food, preserving the harvest, stocking the pantry, sourdough and making more food from scratch, subscribe to Whitetail Acres Homemade and follow along.
