How to store potatoes until spring: 4 useful rules
Learn how to store potatoes properly in winter to prevent them from rotting until spring. SSPDaily has collected tips on creating the best storage conditions and processing methods.
Optimal storage conditions
Store potatoes in a cool and dark place at temperatures up to 10 degrees Celsius. Keep the place well-ventilated to prevent excessive moisture.
Handling the potatoes
Inspect potatoes before storing them and discard any that are damaged or rotten. Do not wash them to prevent moisture retention. Use boxes or paper bags to ensure proper air circulation.
Storage considerations
Handle potatoes carefully to avoid damage and rot. Store them separately from fruits and vegetables, as ethylene gas can accelerate spoilage.
Different varieties, different requirements
Research specific potato varieties or consult an expert to determine the best storage conditions. Some of them like humidity, while others are better stored in a drier environment.
