How do I store Potatoes

Potato Storage

Store Potatoes in a cool, dark and well ventilated place.

Ideal storage temperature is 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cooler temperatures will cause the starch to turn to sugar, so don't keep
your potatoes in the refrigerator.

Warmer temperatures will cause potatoes to sprout and they
can quite quickly begin to rot in very hot weather.

Potatoes should never be stored with onions.
