How To Store Potatoes

Nov 22
- 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
