We’ve always canned our potatoes with the skins off. I imagine if you
canned potatoes with the skins on it would probably make no difference. You
bring up a good point in that I will try it with the skins on.
How long the canned potatoes will last depends on several things. First is
the temperature or storage conditions. The colder and darker the area you
store them in the better. Second is the amount of light. The less light the
potatoes are exposed to the better. We’re still eating last years potatoes
with no problems. Long term I’m not sure how long they would store. I
imagine around 1-2 years in the right conditions.
I hot packed a full canner of pint jars (19) with white potatoes last fall.
This took a while for me to do. I noticed when finished the first jars were
OK, but those I packed towards the end of the process had mush in the
bottom of the jars. This had to be because the potatoes were in the water
bath too long. Next time I’ll cold pack.
@Alpineprepper Yeah, this is actually Arkansas Prepper’s video. I’m
borrowing so I don’t have to create a video on how to can potatoes. He gets
all the credit.
Hello, I assumed you’ve canned potatoes before leaving the skin on. I
haven’t canned any yet, but I saw someone stating that you must peel them
because of the skin. I’d love to know you’re thoughts. Thank you for your
post and your work to teach… Blessings!

@ferrisbueller9000 This was filmed by my friend Arkansas Prepper. There
were numerous request so instead of creating one I used his. Take a look at
his channel too.
Man, I need a canner… 🙁 Seriously, my penny jar just isn’t filling fast
enough!

I canned 50 pounds of potatoes a few years back. My hubby got them because
Walmart refused them. There wasn’t anything wrong them so he bought them
from another truck driver for me. Cheap! I am hoping to find some tires so
I can try my hand at growing them again this year.
@houndsman03 Arkansas did a great job.

thanks for the input here my friend. I was just wondering just how long
will these canned potatoes last on the shelf before they go bad.
