How to Store Potatoes

Expert tips from farmers on the best practices for storing potatoes, including temperature, light, and moisture considerations to keep them fresh.

Ingredients

  • Potatoes (1 kg)
  • Airflow (0 )
  • Coolness (1 °C)
  • Darkness (0 )

Instructions

  1. Store potatoes in a cool, well-ventilated, and dark space ideally around 10°C.
  2. Use a pantry, dark closet, basement, or root cellar for storage.
  3. Keep potatoes open to the air or in a basket, mesh bag, or open paper bag to allow for airflow.
  4. Do not wash potatoes until just before use to preserve freshness.
