As I sit here at the computer and look at mine, I would say yes, a bit of cloudy would be normal.

Yes, it's normal. It's the starch in the potatoes that causes the cloudiness, nothing to worry about.

Thank you all for your answers-all the rest of the food I canned had clear fluid and I thought I was going to have to throw out all my potatoes.

We actually dug over 100 lbs of potatoes today! Mine always turn a bit cloudy after they are canned. I don't like canned potatoes for too much but they do make the most excellent hash browns. I always try to make my kids a hot breakfast before school and potatoes can take so long, but with canned potatoes all you have to do is great and fry! They are super. Kim
