FROM STOCK: McCormick beef Stew mix, on sale first of September.
Meal #3 Potatoes
BUY: Let's face it, they are on sale and last a very long time. One of my followers stocks potatoes when she sees a sale like this one. She cans-yes with a canner and jars, potatoes. I thought it seemed too much to save a mere $1 or two. Then I heard her reasoning. She brings peeled and cleaned potato pieces to a boil, then laddle them into quart jars. When pressure canned, these are ready to drain and mash. Prepared mashed potatoes. Ohhh...she had my attention. I never seem to have time to peel, boil and mash all at one time. I tried it for the first time last fall, and loved it.
Other ideas include simply placing without touching on a cool dry shelf. I have a garage sale dresser converted in my basement for holding extra foods. It's my modern day root cellar. I arranged one drawer as my potato drawer. They last for over a couple months.
Our family favorite, "Aunt Susie Potatoes" Wash and place whole potatoes in large stock pot to boil. boil until tender. Let cool, then messily cube (skins still on!) and place in baking dish.
