Sorry Paulette...I think I have canned everything...but never either kind of potatoes. I always left the potatoes out of my fresh veggie soup mix that I canned...I added potatoes and onions when I cooked it, along with any seaoning. I never store irish potatoes in the fridge even. We always had potatoes in any season,now they are in the stores. But like was said before...half of the potatoes in the market place are 'hard' or 'green'... because they are not handled properly...but the commercial farmers just get it to market !
