How to Store Potatoes

Keep unwashed potatoes in a cool, dark, dry place such as a loosely closed paper bag in a cupboard. They will keep for two weeks at room temperature, longer if you can provide their ideal temperature of 40Ð50 degrees. Moisture causes potatoes to spoil, light turns them green, and proximity to onions causes them to sprout. Don’t put them in the refrigerator, as low temperatures convert the starch to sugars. However, new potatoes which are young and thin-skinned may be refrigerated if you don’t plan to eat them within a few days. Do try to use new potatoes soon because their delicate flavor wanes with time.  
Radical Roots Farm is located on Creek Road (also known as Dorr Drive) in Rutland.  We are directly across the street from #531 Creek Road, Rutland Town, VT. Look for our sign in front of our farm stand.
