Cooking canned potatoes

As you all know, I like to can various things. I especially like to can veggies that I can buy for next to nothing. Back in the fall I canned 25 pounds of potatoes, which was a 2 or 3 day adventure.  With it being as cold as it has been, opening that cabinet and pulling out those beautifully home canned potatoes has been a fantastic thing!!!

These are great fixed so many different ways, fried, hash browned, put in soup, or our favorite way, fixed in the oven. What I like to do, that has turned into a favorite here, is to preheat the oven to 400, and spread them in a pan. Salt and Pepper to taste, and then put enough paprika on top to turn it partially red. Bake for 20 minutes, and then increase temp to 450, and turn them in pan, and bake until crisp. Then about 3-5 minutes before you are ready to pull them out, sprinkle the top with cheese. This is one of those deals where there is really no set time, you kind of have to eyeball it.

This summer, we are going to attempt to grow our own, not sure how well that's going to work out, but we're going to try!!!
