potato bake in the canner recipe

Potato bake in a canner? That’s a creative idea! Here’s a basic recipe to try:

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your preferred type)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: minced garlic, herbs like thyme or rosemary

Instructions:

1. Grease the inside of your canner or canning jars to prevent sticking.
2. Layer the sliced potatoes and onions in the canner or jars, alternating with layers of cheese. Season each layer with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings like minced garlic or herbs.
3. Pour the heavy cream over the layers, ensuring it evenly coats the potatoes.
4. Place the lid on the canner or seal the jars.
5. If using a canner, process at 10 pounds of pressure for 75 minutes for pints and 90 minutes for quarts.
6. If using canning jars, follow the appropriate canning procedures for your altitude and jar size.
7. After processing, carefully remove the canner or jars from the heat and allow them to cool.
8. Once cooled, serve the potato bake directly from the canner or jars, or transfer to a serving dish.

Note: Always follow safe canning practices to prevent foodborne illness. Adjust processing times and pressures according to your altitude and specific canning equipment.
