  • How To Store Potatoes

    Potatoes

    • Avoid washing potatoes before storage. Moisture causes them to rot
    • The location must be:
    1. Cool – Heat will make them sprout
    2. Dark – Light causes them to turn green and poisonous
    3. Dry – Moisture will make them rot
    • Ideas for storage:
    1. Brown paper bag
    2. Cardboard box
    3. In pantyhose separated by knots
    4. Root cellar
    5. As chips in a freezer
    • Storage temperature must be 7-10 deg. C (45-50 deg. F). Freezing temperatures will change the taste and appearance of the potatoes.
    • Remove potatoes that have turned soft, dried up or sprouted
    • Potatoes can be stored for 3 to 6 months
