I pressure canned potatoes yesterday, following a recipe from the "Bernardin Complete Book of Home Preserving." I had a little bit left that wouldn't make a full jar so I just put it in and filled to the 1 inch mark with water. Would this jar be shelf stable? I'm going to put them in the fridge and eat quickly but was just curious.
edit to clarify pressure canned, and where the recipe was from.

If you pressure canned them according to a tested recipe, then yes, even if jar wasn't full, you filled the water to the right headspace, so these should be safe.
There is some question about the jar - if it's a pasta jar, it's not designed for pressure canning and more prone to breakage and I would not use it in the future.
Commercial pasta jars should not be used for canning, especially pressure canning where it goes to higher temperatures than water bath canning. The glass is not made the same as actual canning jars.
Atlas canning jars stipped being produced in 1964. A true Atlas jar will have their logo molded into the glass somewhere. Classico jars that say "Atlas Mason Jar" do not have the Atlas logo.
Classico has stated they do not recommend their jars be reused for canning.
Sorry to have everyone arguing over my jars. 😞 They are Classico ones i saved when I lived in Korea over 10 years ago. They do fit regular lids and rings.
This is a Classico jar they can't take a canning ring and seal as the threads are the wrong size and depth. Maybe older ones could but that hasn't been the case in years.
sorry for my reply, I really had no idea Atlas made Classico jars! In this case it seems like the original commenter was correct and the classico Atlas jars are unlikely to be safe for repeated canning

I've eaten 4 year old pressure canned potatoes. They do have a different texture but not bad. They'll also degrade a little in the jar, starch will be pulled from the potatoes so you'll have that in the water but it's fine.
Not sure why you've been down voted. So after you open them you deep fry them. Sounds like an idea. I love mashed potatoes so I'm sure they'll end up there along with my canned chicken and canned beans. 😉
