Quantity: An average of 35 pounds is needed per canner
load of 7 quarts; an average of 22-1/2 pounds is
needed per canner load of 9 pints. A bag weighs 50
pounds and yields 8 to 12 quarts–an average of 5
pounds per quart.

Quality: Select small to medium-size mature potatoes
of ideal quality for cooking. Tubers stored below 45
degrees F may discolor when canned. Choose potatoes 1
to 2 inches in diameter if they are to be packed whole.

Procedure: Wash and peel potatoes. Place in ascorbic
acid solution to prevent darkening. If desired, cut
into 1/2-inch cubes. Drain. Cook 2 minutes in boiling
water and drain again. For whole potatoes, boil 10
minutes and drain. Add 1 teaspoon of salt per quart to
the jar, if desired. Fill jars with hot potatoes and
fresh hot water, leaving 1-inch headspace.

in Table 1 and Table 2.
