HOW TO STORE YOUR COLORADO POTATOES
Store potatoes in a cool dark place with good circulation.
Do not refrigerate potatoes. The ideal storage temperature
is between
42ºF and 48ºF. Warmer temperatures encourage sprouting,
shriveling, and decay.
Temperatures below 42ºF turn starch in potatoes
into sugar, producing an uncharacteristic sweet flavor.
Avoid prolonged
exposure to light, as even small amount of exposure
can cause potatoes to turn green.
Did you Know?
Also, don't store in a bin or drawer with onions, the gas given off by onions accelerate the decay of potatoes.
