A Jar of Potatoes is a sealed glass jar of pickled potatoes. It keeps a potato harvest for years once the jar is cooked. A full jar weighs 0.8.
The jar has to be opened before the potatoes can be eaten. Opening it gives a Jar of Potatoes (Open), which lowers hunger by 48 and holds 210 calories. It takes 3 fresh Potatoes to fill one jar.
Jars are made with the Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe. Sealed jars also turn up in survivor caches, farm houses and home fridges.
Eating
A sealed jar has to be opened first. The Open Jar of Preserved Food recipe opens it and gives a Jar of Potatoes (Open).
The opened jar lowers hunger by 48. It holds 210 calories, with 45 grams of carbohydrates and 9 grams of protein. That is a fair meal for both the stomach and body weight.
A single fresh Potato lowers hunger by 18 and holds 70 calories. Three potatoes lower hunger by 54 in total, so the jar gives up a little hunger. The calories stay the same.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
| Item | Hunger | Calories | Carbs | Protein | Fat |

Cooking
The Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe fills one jar with 3 Potatoes. It also needs an empty Jar, a Jar Lid, 2 units of vinegar, salt, a little water and a knife, which is kept. The recipe must be learned first.
A freshly filled jar has to be cooked to seal it. It cooks in 60 minutes and burns after 120. Cooking turns a jar that keeps for a month into one that keeps for years.

Storage
An uncooked jar stays fresh for 30 days and is fully rotten by day 60. Once cooked, the jar stays fresh for 730 days and rots only after 1560. Jars found as loot are already cooked and sealed.
A fresh Potato already stays fresh for 28 days. Jarring still pays off for a big harvest meant to last through more than one winter.
Locations
Sealed jars of potatoes are an uncommon find. Survivor food caches and survivor crates are the likeliest spots. Farm house counters hold them now and then. House fridges turn one up on occasion. Garages, closets, attics, kitchens and storage units can hide a jar, but only rarely.

Notes
- Fresh potatoes keep for 28 days, so jar other crops first.
- Three potatoes in a jar lose a little hunger but keep all their calories.
- Cook every jar after filling it, or it keeps for only 30 days.
- The empty Jar comes back after eating, ready to fill again.
