- Store potatoes in a dark, cool place but not in the refrigerator. Temperatures below 45 degree F convert the starch to sugar, giving the potato a strange taste.
- Any light gaining access to potatoes will cause them to go green; they will taste bitter and causes poisonous alkaloids such as solanine and chaconine to form, toxic substances that can cause diarrhea, cramps, and fatigue. This point is vital.
- Also, do not store potatoes and onions together. The acids in onions aid the decomposition of potatoes and vice versa.
When stored properly, they can last for 3-6 months.
