How to Can Garlic and Herb Potatoes

by Stephy Rose

These Garlic and Herb Potatoes will be a great addition to your winters preps. Potatoes are a low acid vegetable and safe canning practices recommend you use a pressure cooker to can them rather than the hot water bath method grandma used to use.

How to Can Potatoes in a Pressure Cooker

Before starting any type of canning you want to begin with clean, sterilized, and hot equipment – you want your jars, lids, and rings hot while filling. Even if using new jars they recommend you boil the jars, lids, and rings.

I toss the lids and rings into a large pot of boiling water, reduce to a low simmer, and remove when I am ready. For the jars, I run a load through the dishwasher with jars, my jar lifter, and any other canning items I am using and pull them outright when it’s time to fill.

Once you have your jars and other equipment ready you can begin.
Scrub potatoes well and peel,  if desired-we prefer the earthy taste of the peel so I leave mine on, it is totally up to you.

Dice potatoes into small bite sized pieces.

Boil in a large pot of water for 3-5 minutes.

Transfer potatoes to hot jar add herbs, salt, and pepper.

Cover them with fresh hot water ( you can boil in the pot, use a tea kettle, or water from your coffee pot). Leave 1” headspace at the top.

Wipe the rim with a clean towel and place hot lid and ring on top, secure tightly.

Always check the instructions on your particular pressure cooker. My model has a canning button so I just hit that and change the time to 35 minutes.

Release the pressure, take off the lid, and carefully remove your hot jars with a jar lifter.

Set cans on the counter to cool.

As they cool you will hear a pinging sound, this is the lids sealing correctly.

Store you canned garlic and herb potatoes in a cool dark place
