- The pickled potatoes are quite addicting but in a good way! Trust me, once you taste them you won’t soon forget them!
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR PICKLED POTATOES
- If you want to use a full size quart mason jar, you should use about 1 pound of potatoes. That should fill it up nicely with little to no leftovers. I love it when I can fit it all in the same jar!
- Want to spice it up? Consider adding in some sliced jalapenos. Depending on the spice you are craving 1-3 jalapenos (sliced up) will do the trick!
- Potato types - literally any kind of potato will work, we prefer using golden or yellow potatoes. If you use larger potatoes you can cut the potatoes into sticks.
- Vinegar swap - You can switch out the apple cider vinegar for white vinegar or red wine vinegar if preferred.
- Don’t overcook the potatoes or they will be too mushy. They should be firm but just soft enough to pierce with a fork.
- These pickled potatoes should keep for a couple of weeks when kept in the fridge.
- Glass containers and non-reactive pans/pots are best for these pickled potatoes due to how vinegar can be reactive.

Can you bake the potatoes after this to make a crispy smashed potato?
Hi Megan! That is a great question, I have actually never tried so I can't answer if that would work or not. If you try please let me know how it turns out!
Could I heat the liquid and seal the jar to make the potatoes last even longer?
Hi Carol,
If you have sealed other types of vegetables, it would be a similar process.
