Potatoes

Potatoes, White

Pressure Canning only. Use Hot pack.  If around 1 to 1½ inches in diameter, they may be canned whole; dice the larger ones.

Wash and scrape just-dug new potatoes, removing all blemishes. (If you’re dicing them, prevent darkening during preparation by dropping the dice in a solution of 1 teaspoon salt for each 1 quart of cold water.) Drain before packing by either method.
