Put the pot in the refrigerator. Too tired and need to be up early to take hub to his light duty gig and then pick up some straw bales for the chickes,ducks and garden. Also need to pick up some 4x8 panels as well. Living in the country is a lot of work. Good thing is that the chickens,the ducks,the garden and nature makes it all worthy!

Eating fresh is the best. The more I can grow and raise the more better it is for us. Just think about that this winter when the snow is flying and you are eating what you grew. You'll know what you're eating is good for you because you grew it and preserved it, It's very satisfying.
Farm babe put up several gallon bags of french fries today.

I thought you can’t put taters in freezer? I canned 3yrs ago and didn't like it.

A little weeding and a few seeds in the ground.

Blanched, then frozen fries used to be a staple.
Used canned potatoes typically just for making mashed potatoes on the quick

The canned ones were too hard and couldn't cook more for the life of me.

I'm not the cook, so I would search for a recipe for more exactness of the steps and times. But I do know she blanched them. You can see the fries are nice and white, with no browning, so it appears she did an excellent job to me 👍
She informed me that hash browns are next and said something about parboiling which I must admit, went right over my head.

That's weird! I've canned 'taters in chunks that are great in soup or just sliced up a little and made into home fries.
