WHAT IS A CANNED NEW POTATO?

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR CANNED NEW POTATOES
- Make sure to drain the water from the canned potatoes and use fresh tap water in the recipe.
- Some canned foods can be more salty than others, taste before adding salt and pepper and also be careful if you have any issues with salt in your diet.
- Try your potatoes with some other spices, you may find you might like things like cumin, thyme, rosemary or other delicious spices! Potatoes are like a blank canvas!
- Do not give whole canned potatoes to a toddler as the small round potatoes could pose a choking hazard. Cut them or mash them up first.

A VERSE TO SHARE
This past weekend, Mr. Loaves and Dishes and I went to the movies to see “Won’t you be my neighbor”. Something really struck me as I sat in the theater in tears. There are a LOT of people in the world who don’t feel loved.
You, my friend, are the farthest thing from alone. Email me at wendi(at sign)loavesanddishes.net and I'll email you back as quick as I can.
Gretchen Kunde says

Wendi Spraker says
Great!
susan W Hines says
Loved the sound of this dish! I'm going to be making this for my dad's 96th birthday this weekend! Thanks for the great ideas to Juzz Up canned potatoes!
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Susan, I wish your dad the best birthday ever in his 96 years!!! 🙂
Tegan l says
I made these tonight. Instead of boiling them I roasted them on 425° till all liquid was absorbed about 30min. They were delicious.
Wendi Spraker says
Sounds good. 🙂
Wayne Foster says
Whenever I've used tinned potatoes all I've done is put them in a saucepan, heated them up and serve with just a small knob of butter.
I decided to look to see if there was any way of making them better because I was having belly pork marinated in maple and didn't have fresh potatoes.
Your recipe sounded nice so gave it a go (Didn't have unsalted butter so used "I can't believe it's not butter, light". And they were amazing.
Thanks for sharing. Have written recipe down and will use it all the time with tinned spuds. Also going to try it with fresh potatoes.
Wendi Spraker says
Wayne, I'm so glad that you found this recipe useful! It will work with fresh potatoes too, but you'll want to cook them through first and then start the process of this recipe. Be sure to salt the water you cook your fresh potatoes in. I hope you'll take a look around, there are a lot of recipes here for canned vegetables that you might find useful. Take care and let me know if I can help with anything else!

Wendi Spraker says
Thanks Barbara. I appreciate you leaving a comment. Have a great day!
Kevin says
I added corn starch to thicken the broth and baked them for 10 minutes at 350. Incredible recipe. Five Stars.
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Kevin! So glad it turned out like you wanted! Thanks for leaving a comment!
Tami says
Can I use my air fryer (omitting the liquid) to "roadt" my canned potatoes?
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Tami, I'm not sure if you can do that or not as I have never tried.
Shalifa says
Did you try it that way?
Wendi Spraker says
Shalifa, I have not tried it this way, no.
Jullie Fillippi says
Love using pantry items. Store 30-35 minutes away. Delicious made as written.
Wendi Spraker says
Thanks Jullie! I'm glad you loved them!
Cara says
Do you drain the liquid at the end? The liquid seems to wash the lovely buttery coating off, I'm not sure if I'm making it right, it doesn't look like your picture, help!
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Cara,
You may drain the liquid off at the end if you prefer! Thanks so much for asking!
Dorothea says
@Wendi Spraker, The first time I made this, I didn't drain the water and thought it lost the flavor too. I am making again tonight and I'm going to skip the water. 😋
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Dorothea, I hope you love it!
Beverly says
Thank you for sharing your receipe and thankyou for sharing the Verse. I believe I was lead here for your word's and encouragement of verse. Today I prayed for help to be a better friend, neighbor and person. I get bitter when l place expectations on people places and things and fail to remember to stop placing expectations there. Than you I'm naking the potatos today for our group.
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Beverly,
I'm so glad I was able to help you with your potatoes as well a tiny spiritual nudge. You have a wonderful day and enjoy the potatoes! I hope you'll come back and visit me again soon!
Tanner says
I love canned new potatoes, but I was looking for a way to spice them up just a little. I came across your recipe, and it was delicious! I just finished eating them for lunch, and I'm already thinking about making them again for dinner...LOL. Thanks for sharing the recipe, but most importantly, thanks for sharing your faith.
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Tanner! Thank you so much for leaving such a sweet comment! I’m so glad you enjoyed them. I think o forgot to link the two posts, but I also have a post about how to make them into mashed potatoes. It’s called “how to make canned mashed potatoes”. Hope this all helps!!
Elena says
Can I use these potatoes for making potato salad. I hate the boiling process of making this. Either they are over done or not done enough😕 do you think these may work??
Wendi Spraker says
Elena. I’ve never tried using canned potatoes. My gut feeling is no. It probably wouldn’t work very well because new potatoes in the can break easily. Let me get to my desk top and I’ll write you an email to help with boiling.
bob says
YES you can use them for making potato salad and they work extremely well because they are very firm and do not fall apart. boil them in a pan for 5mins, drain, then slice/dice when cool and add to your dressing and refrigerate for a few hours.
Sheri says
Canned potatoes are already cooked, and they fall apart too easily to be used in potato salad
Wendy Fretz says
I was looking for a good recipe to go with the balsamic chicken that I am planning to make tonight for my husband and I ... both are new recipes that I have never tried before. The last time that I tried to spruce up some canned potatoes, he was not impressed... he says that it “tastes like the can”. But emptying the canned water might do the trick! I will definitely let you know how it turns out!
On a second note, the reason why I am posting a review prior to making the recipe is because I am in complete and in total awe over your willingness to publicly self disclose your personal values and faith in our Lord. In today’s day and age, that takes a lot of guts and I am beyond impressed and you have my complete admiration for being so brave. Although I could continue on and on by responding in support of your values, I will refrain and instead keep this short in support of your recipes.
Wendi Spraker says
WENDY! (FIRST, YOU have a GREAT name!). I hope the potatoes turn out JUST like you want! Secondly, there is no brave here, instead if you want to see change then you have to be willing to stand in the gap. I, for one, am grieved over the bad rap that Christians have made for ourselves. Therefore, I will stand out in LOVE for any one to see. Jesus sent me here to love others not to judge. He said that very specifically. I believe if God gives you a talent then you are to use it to HIS service and if you have a stage and a moment of someone's time then you MUST say what you came to say. I'm saying it here to anyone who will listen. Amen? Amen. Enjoy the potatoes and if I can be of any other service, I welcome your notes, questions and comments.
Kari says
Haven't used it yet - but will tomorrow. Just wanted to say that your comment "If you want to see change you have to stand in the gap" was just what I needed to hear today! I determined I could not sit politely by and say nothing while friends share fake and false "news". I will stand in the gap and call it out!!
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Kari, I'm glad this helped you!
Dan says
My kids are picky eaters and I knew that if just heated these potatoes up, put some salt and pepper on them, then put them on their plate, there would’ve been a lot of moaning and groaning about having to eat them. So I searched for a recipe, found this one, and went with it. I do not cook on a regular basis so the easier the recipe, the better. This was very easy to do, and after taking a bite, with a shocked face, I told the kids I couldn’t believe I made something that tasted this good. They both immediately took a bite for themselves and were equally surprised! I will definitely make this again. Thank you!
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Dan! Wow! You have made my day! YOU are exactly why I started this new cooks series! If you want, you can check out the other “how to cook canned...” recipes here. There’s corn, green beans, peas, etc. You can keep right in being a kitchen rock star! Best wishes!
