Don't store potatoes out in the open on the countertop. Keep them in a drawer, in a basket, in a closet, in a paper bag, or in a bamboo vegetable steamer—anywhere that's dark.

Store Your Potatoes

1. Inspect all the potatoes for soft spots, sprouts, mold, shovel damage, and pest damage.
2. Place the potatoes in a cardboard box, paper bag, mesh bag, or basket to ensure good ventilation.
3. Store your potatoes in a cool, humid, and dark place (45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature range).

Likewise, can you store potatoes in a wooden box? Making a wooden potato storage bin at home is a way to keep potatoes easily available and fresh throughout the year. Storing potatoes in a cool, dark location will help to keep them from sprouting or going bad, and a homemade storage bin can add rustic charm to any kitchen.
