Do you can those taters for any specific reason?

Storage?
Special flavor?

Please elaborate!

I grow potatoes and am looking for a way to have some good potatoes in mid summer wile the fresh batch is growing, and the old batch is either gone (ate up) or got too nasty (rotten).

This year I tried boiling some peeled and cut up ones, cooling them off in the colander where they can drain too.

Then package them 2# to a bag and freeze them!

They are edible, but meh!

Storage mostly as they do not keep well for me without a root cellar. Just trying to preserve them for multiple uses

Understandable!

Potatoes like it cold for longitivity but dont like to freeze.

I once dug a row of potatoes. Left them lay in the field overnight not knowing we was going to have a good frost.

Well they froze enough on the top that they died and black juice oozed from the eyes! ☹️
