I am Irishman, 61 yoa, that is how we stored them since I can remember, but we had a root cellar outside & consistent temp year round like a cave, appx. 62 degrees F & dark, lasts for months plus works on about every root veggie, carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabagas, yams, etc... all grown in our large garden in rural S/E Kentucky

My wife always seems to find potatos I miss when harvesting, and found half a dozen yesterday when turning over a bed. We store them in boxes in a potato bin in the basement, they last until Spring and we use the left over ones as seed for our next planting. Dark and cool is the secret and not near the onions.

I just want to thank you again for this tip, it has really helped us to stop throwing potatoes away! I don’t like throwing any food away so this is great🙂

Great and easy video, especially in these times. I'm 74 and my grandfather taught me lots of secretes that are easy and work. Thanks for making this video and I like how simple you made it and not a long dragged out useless talking one. Thanks!

I actually wanted to buy more potatoes but wasn’t sure how I would have used them all before they would have went bad but this is right on time. Thanks!

I keep my potatoes in a ventilated box and place some kitchen towel on top to take up any moister and keep in them dark cupboard under the stairs in UK

My mother did this with apples and pears too

Thank you for the info. Our Food King grocery store has their 15# potatoes for 1.99 no limit. They will go great with all the chuck roast im buying from Smiths for $3.27lb that i mentioned in a previous video. Going to spend our $100.00 stockup $ on chuck roast. Jackpot!😁

Interesting. I didn’t know this about the plastic bag. But it does make sense. Thanks. New subbie ❤

For the last 20yrs I have dedicated the bottom drawer of my kitchen cupboards for storing potatoes with a breathable layer underneath. Dark, cool, easy access and the perfect solution for me. 🤗 Ohh and also never store spuds with onions because they will go off even quicker 😉

My grandmother who loved to cook and was really a great cook, overwintered green tomatoes but wrapping each one in newspaper and boxing them and they lived in Alabama where it wasn’t that cool

[nanar.]

That's the procedure we've used for many years and they last a long time. Great advice!

[NOVAFrugalFamily]

I keep mine in a bowl on the counter because we use them so quickly but totally agree drying is key because grocery potatoes are always wet. I hope to get an amazing enough price to worry about storing in a box. 😊 I also keep a bowl in a dark cabinet to store extras.

Thank you so so much I’ve thrown so many potatoes away because I couldn’t eat them quickly enough. You’ve been a blessing. Thank you for this. God bless.

[JEANETTEJOHNSON]

Thank you for making this video! I hate wasting food.

If you grow your own potatoes potatoes, when you pick them do not clean keep them dirty and store them in a dark cool spot the dirt helps to keep them through the winter months or where you live they may sprout a little but it won't be for awhile just pull the sprouts off and the potatoes will harden back up if you leave the sprouts on the potatoes will get soft and will not be good anymore.

Love it! ❤You are the one I learned this from on a previous video and it’s a game changer. I’m extremely sensitive to solanine and will become I’ll eating potatoes with even the slightest tinge of green. Your tips have saved me from wasting “bad” potatoes. 😊

I love this idea. I bought the same deal on potatoes and I’m in the middle of canning them today.

Also Kristen I followed your lead on Boost and took advantage of the great buys on carrots (canned those last night) flour, sugar etc. my husband could not believe everything I got yesterday between the weekly buys and boost.
Thank you so much for teaching us about the deals.
