No it doesn't matter just as long as they aren't sweet potatoes (yams) and are properly aged/matured.

But some of the colored potatoes don't tolerate the canning processing as well as fool old whites. They tend to be softer, more mushy. So I assume you'll be jarring the different colors separately?

Yes, I will. I'll do a few jars of each and compare. The potatoes are fine right now in their wooden and cardboard boxes - it sounds like this is a project that can wait until later in the fall after the seriously perishable produce is under control. Thanks very much, Dave.
