Are you digging up potatoes? While you are digging, think about how to preserve them. Potatoes can be canned, frozen or dehydrated. For canning, they must be pressure canned as they are a low acid vegetable. For instructions, see pp. 6-7 of our K-State Preserve it Fresh, Preserve it Safe: Vegetables publication. It also has tips to easily freeze potatoes.

For more information on freezing potatoes, see Penn State Extension Freezing Potatoes information for whole small potatoes, French fried potatoes, and prepared potatoes.

For information on dehydrating potatoes, see the University of Georgia publication Preserving Food: Drying Fruits and Vegetables. These are a great addition to soups and casseroles.
