Once cured, sort through the potatoes and discard any soft, shriveled, or blemished tubers. These potatoes may spoil in storage and destroy much of the crop. Store in a dark location as potatoes turn green when exposed to light. Sugary potatoes may be restored to their natural flavor by placing them at room temperature for a few days prior to use. Do not allow potatoes to freeze.
Most modern homes have few good storage places for vegetables.
A cool garage or basement may be the best site. Another possibility would be a second refrigerator. Do not store potatoes with apples or other fruit. Apples and other fruit give off ethylene gas which may promote sprouting of potatoes. Green tubers are caused by exposure to light while in the garden or during storage.
