Safe Recipe Request Potatoes in broth?

Mostly just a question of is it ok to can potatoes per the usda guide using broth instead of water?

I’d love to dump out a jar, add some flour and butter and have potatoes in gravy

As I recall, the Ball Book allows for broth but is raw pack and fewer potatoes per jar - May even have different directions for process.

So - LOL - it’s early bear with me - to answer your question, no. Not as per the NCHFP recipe but I think Ball has a tested one if you want me to try to find it.

I’ve heard the ball recipe is very specific on weight of potatoes. I can always just use the soup recipe and only fill jars halfway with potato and use broth, that is considered safe per the soup recipe in the usda guide.

Thank you for the input though!
