Things like potatoes need pressure to be canned because they have such a low acid content and will spoil otherwise. But I should probably look more into einmachautomats.

Plus most fries end up with some sort of coating to make them crispy, which you're likely going to have problems with in canning. How about exploring some baked goods in a jar? Well that’s an unexpected question. ;)

The project is to come up with a shelf stable canned food that is more uncommon to the market and exactly how its better for families to choose my product. I was wondering if canning french fries would be a good idea? Please respond asap thank you!

Although I never liked the taste or texture of canned potatoes purchased from the store, I decided to attempt to can my own. The difference was dramatic! This recipe produced potatoes that came out the jar ready to eat! They were perfectly salted with a "potato salad" ready texture. And, in fact, that's exactly what I made just this past Labor Day.
