How to store potatoes

Generally

Store potatoes in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place like a pantry, basement, or cupboard. They do best when kept away from light, which can cause them to sprout or develop green spots. Avoid washing potatoes before storage, as moisture can lead to mold or rot. Place them in open paper bags, burlap sacks, or breathable baskets to allow air circulation and prevent moisture buildup. Avoid sealed plastic bags, which trap humidity and speed up spoilage.
