Thanks for the comment.. Yea, I did a lot of research on storing potatoes, just didn't bother on a video,lol I spent numerous hours checking out storage techniques.I can fit 24 quarts in the refrigerator in the house & leave them in there for 1 day, 2 days maximum. Then they are canned.I am lucky enough to have an huge adjustable cooler/freezer which is 15 foot by 18 foot to store potatoes or frozen goods in :). I will make a video of it sometime :)
As a Potato breeder my self I find this video very interesting. I have done mostly back breeding to wild types and find most of them that survive the hardest winters on their own are the waxy types. This year I had a mega surprise when one of my potatoes from a cross back in 2014 from a true seed has Steel Blue flowers. I have no idea where the Blue Gene has come from as most of my flowers are white and pinky off white to yellowish. This was a cross done by Bumble Bees. The mother plant was red variety but I have no idea what the cross was with.
Growing some russet potatoes. First time growing anything and they look nice for now.... Texas has been pretty hot lately, i hope they give me some okay sized potatoes. Love your very btw. :)
I don’t agree with mixing sweet potatoes with regular potatoes. They are of 2 different species that are not related (regular potatoes are closer to tomatoes in relation than they are to sweet potatoes/yams. Also, regular potatoes are poisonous/toxic if not cooked.
Agreed, I think it happens because of the english name given to these plants. In Latin American spanish we do distinguish them, as potatoes are "papas", and sweet potatoes are "camotes" (or "batatas" if you are Argentinian).
I was looking for a video on the difference in Yukon Gold vs Idaho and came across yours- thank you for all the reviews (even though you didn't cover Idaho), but I definitely want to try the purple potatoes as well as the Yukon Gold. How are they for making french fries and potatoe crouqets- especially the purple ones? Thank you!! 🤗💝💐💜🌷
I appreciate your demonstration I can use it for the good of the public, and as well as myself. My concern is that lately many different potatoes has shown up in the markets, and the produce department identifies a green Irish potato as a quality potato that rank high as the best ones. As important as consuming the wrong thing in our mouths, the markets produce department should teach their staff professionally what is needed to keep buyers safe. Please give this comment a great deal of consideration, it can means someones life.
No offense it's about cooking, nothing about planting/type of time of year found. There are 2 types indeterminate or determinate. The green is chlorophyll inset when exposed to sunlight. Salinine poisoning is the result if you eat green potatoes. You can remove the green before eating. Green potatoes can be used to plant if or when it shows chitting.
Don't think that making into alcohol hasn't crossed my mind. lol I have 16 Quarts left to do out of 2 bushels. Peeling & canning 4 bushels in one week is killing me. I'm not accustomed to this manual labor stuff. Keep in mind, I have zero help doing this. Doing 10-20 Pounds at a time isn't bad. I will be ready for a drink when I'm done. And I don't drink :) I'm waiting for someone to say "Cry me a river" , lol
Im kinda confuse when you include "sweet pottato" in "pottato" video.. as far as i know sweet pottato and pottato is completly different plant.. Am i missing something ?
if you store your spuds at too cold of a temperature, they will develop a green inner skin that has a sweet taste. many root crops do the same thing. there are some intersting university studies available online about cold storeage of root crops.
Great video as I want to plant different kinds. A farmer gave me some polish seed potatoes that were brought to Canada 100 years ago.. purple, oblong.. not as dark like other purple.. What kind is it?
Thanks for the reply. That is funny :) I'm getting ready to make another video on how I to can potatoes for beginners. I made the mistake of telling my cousin that I do canning. She told me to make a video despite me telling her to look up some youtube videos. So, I figured why not,lol I prefer kennebec over all the others. The big secret I found was to let them sit in cold water in the fridge for a day. All the starch will sit in the storage container & wont cloud the jars as much.
I responded to a potato comment to someone who planted grocery store potatos and got mediocre harvest resutls during drought conditions and got an annonomous GMO (sign of the cross with vampire hiss) comment about a death gene. I have hauled insualtion sheets up into South and North Dakota to a potato farmers cooperative during their harvest seasons. They line their warehouse walls to make sure they dont freeze before they get shipped
Excellent video could you do another video on which potatoes would be healthy and for please who has high blood pressure are diabetic will look for video thanks
Does he understand that sweet potatoes aren't really a member of the potato family? Potatoes are members of the Nightshade family, which tomatoes are also a member of. Sweet potatoes are actually a member of the morningglory family and completely different from potatoes. Sweet potatoes grow from a vine and actually eventually grow a flower that is just like a morningglory. Potatoes grow on a plant, rather then a vine.I know they look like a potato and grow underground just like a potato, but their not a potato. I'm not sure why they were ever even named sweet "potatoes"?
So then what are "yellow" potatoes? recently have been able to get "yellow" potatoes because I assume they are "yukon golds" or maybe even Kennebecs - they tend to be rather yellowish tinted with the light brown skins (much lighter than say a regular old russet/Idaho baking potato) and round. They are sort of bigger than the red potatoes but definitely not as big as a russet/idaho baking potato. I can only assume yukon golds are vastly different from Kennebecs, but in your pic they sorta look alike. So my question is: what's the key difference between a Kennebec and a yukon gold? And WTH is a "yellow" potato since that's such a generic name. I mean really!? LOL
It is not a generic name, here in Peru it is more like a family of yellow flesh potatoes. Whenever you go to the producers market you will find different yellow potatoes, sometimes with different shapes or some purple tints inside the yellow. Here in Peru we dont really name all of them, we just kind of let our vendor surprise us with their produce.
@@alvaroalejandrollanos9139 hm. Cool. Do they all taste like a regular starchy white Idaho potato or creamier like yellow potatoes in America, opposed to the sweetness of a yam or sweet potato?
I'm no potato gourmand, or anything. I'm trying to find out about store-bought canned potatoes. I look on the shelf and I see "new", "yellow", and "white". Otherwise, I know russets. Potato period.
Think it is a bit annoying to put the sweet potato in amongst ordinary potatoes. Sweet potatoes are actually not a potato, it is a Ipomea batata, ordinary potato is Solanum tuberosum...... So not such a good video outside USA.
It may be annoying but it's called a potato. I'm not disagreeing with you. If put up a video on canning Tomatoes (disambiguation) in the canning fruits section, people would be confused, as it is technically a fruit. However Tomatoes are referred to as a vegetable in many areas of cooking.
@@bickford18 To be fair I think he's saying the different culinary vs Botanically. So while Botanically is based in science, Culinaraly is based in what mixes with other things and taste certian types of ways. There kind of two different systems. So it could then in a manner of speaking say they are lumped in with the classificaions of potatos in regards to cooking. But yeah I also pointed the same thing out and it would have been nice if he mentioned there not potatos.
Can't for the life of me understand canning spuds. Where I live, in the north, they are dug in Sept. and keep in a cool area until the next spring. By then I'm tired of eating spuds .
