Potatoes - Batch 1

These will be fantastic for potato salad, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, and stew!

Did about a 10 lb bag of potatoes last night, it was kind of a pain in the butt. I parboiled them, which, after some research, I think is unnecessary. The potatoes in my beef stew came out fine without being parboiled, but of course, they processed for 90 mins. I followed the directions at Pick Your Own and the 10 lb bag yielded 7 quarts and 3 pints. I had my first broken jar, which made me a little sad. I did not peel them, since I love potato peels and peeling is just more work. I also didn't add any salt, I figure I can season them when I use them.

Cubed, I processed for 40 mins at 11 lbs (gauged) quarts, and 35 mins at 10 lbs (weighted pints)

Plan for batch 2 - no parboiling.
