Keep them dark, and keep them cool. Also, don't store them near onions, bananas, or other fruit — this will encourage them to sprout faster. If you have a dark, cool closet away from the heat of the kitchen, store them there. Also, it's best to take them out of the plastic bag and put them in a basket or breathable cotton sack. And finally, make sure they are totally dry before storing long-term. Damp potatoes will rot or sprout faster.
So store them like bad little children?
more like bad wife
OK I do all of this except the plastic bag thing and have found my potatoes start sprouting after 4 days :(
will ditch the plastic bag next time
me too kept them in the original plastic packaging. damn they should tell us about it
@dragonindespair: :( I bought 2kg on sat. Chucked the plastic bag away. Put them in a bowl in my wardrobe, which is pretty dark. Opened that door ONE time this entire week. Come Thursday (today) I open the door again to get some potatoes :( some have just started to sprout. It's been like 5 days :_(
in the fridge. they last for over a month
Otherwise in a cloth/hessian bag in the cupboard. Like BA said, avoid plastic, light, damp places.Yes, but remember
Refrigerator temperature is a bit too cool for potatoes and tends to increase their sweetness making them brown very quickly when fried
For the way you process carbs a medium potato turns into 4 teaspoons of sugar.
1/2 serve veg but 2 tsp sugar lol
Thanks for chipping in.
…introducing, the Minister for Home Affairs…..
Any deals on Minister for Affairs (Beetroots)?
Tricky question are they floury for roasting and chipping or waxy like for salads …..
This is my biggest source of frustration with the way that Australian supermarkets sell potatoes. Often the packages or labels say nothing more than that the potatoes are brushed or washed (which we could have deduced by looking at them). Or they'll use brand names, making it harder to work out whether they're high/low starch and how they compare to other varieties. Sometimes the packages will tell you what they are best used for; other times they won't. Descriptors like "all-rounder" are too vague to be useful.
If possible, it's far better to buy potatoes at a fruit/veg market: not only are the prices often far better, but the person at the stall can usually tell you something about the potatoes.
So uncompetitive for potatoes.
The local fruit market sells 5kg for $3.99.Agreed, usually there are much better deals on washed potatoes to be had.
Where were potatoes first found?
In the ground :DSorry had to share that dad joke - getting in practice for father's day lmao
Any tips how to store them without creating sprouts after a while?
