  Wonder where all the beef, chicken, eggs and produce you see me preserving actually come from? 😊 That’s the other half of our life.<br><br>Over on Whitetail Acres Farm, we’re sharing the process of raising the food—and right now we’re building our farm store so we can sell it locally. 💚<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SBaWmo1_Pg">https://youtu.be/_SBaWmo1_Pg?is=r0I1dJwQER7hK652</a><br><br>And here is a video of how we started our farm! <br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEiql6VjwAs">https://youtu.be/DEiql6VjwAs?is=8BAZ-ArF5JW9Cf9u</a>

  Soaking them in cold water for 2 hours , changing water after an hour, gets rid of most of of starch so your finished product is not so cloudy.. It is great for canning french fries for baking or frying later. Also if you do smaller chunks in some it is more like home fries or chunky hash browns. Good video.

  I sure hope you learn that canned goods last much longer than 2 years.

  Canned goods can last a lot longer than 2 years. We eat from ours for many years.

  Seeing this makes my heart so happy❣️ Canned anything in sight as a child with my grandmother from her garden and farm stands. Now in my 60’s I am canning for the first time.

  This is just the tutorial I need, never pressure canned before, and I have a huge potato harvest I want to can up. Thank you for a simple step by step guide, and wish me luck 😊

  My family eats 20 pounds of potatoes &nbsp;or more per month. When I could, I would buy 100 pounds at a time. Now I live in a state where you can&apos;t even get 20 pound bags. That&apos;s a lot of canning.

  Just curious as to why you par-boiled the potatoes for 2 minutes. I raw packed mine and they shrunk up quite a bit.

  The view of your property when you said you planted 40 pounds of potatoes was stunning! <br>Potatoes are my favorite food so this was a delight to watch!
