New around here and new to canning. Processed some potatoes and when I pulled them out after they were done I immediately realized I forgot to put water in the quarts 🤦♂️
Cheap mistake but curious of the Implications of this.
for the record I'll be redoing it but raised a question for me. I know dry canning vegetables is not a good idea they say due to heat transfer....however with potatoes having its own moisture if that makes any difference with them.

Well, that's one mistake I didn't make in over 40 years of canning but I've pulled some doozies.
What part of the country/state is home for you?

Potatoes are low acid. they will need to be pressure canned. the ones you have done, I think I would freeze if you could. Canning twice they may only be good for mashed potatoes due to the texture.

I see people online (FB) doing that on purpose all the time. They like it. So maybe don't re-do them all and see if it works out for you. It's not a USDA-approved thing.....but some people are willing to try it. I haven't and won't, in case you're wondering. But If I made the mistake, I might leave 2 jars to see how they work out.
And...WELCOME!

I agree. It's not like you can smell or taste it to know. It's very unlikely but not worth any risk over cheap potatoes. I put them in the fridge to use later for mashed potatoes. Made a new batch and did it correctly this time lol. |

And...WELCOME! Thank you! Yes. I did in fact pressure can them for that reason. I would assume they'd still have hit 140deg for the proper time....but not knowing for sure its not worth risking. |
