How do you store your potatoes?

[Foodtheif]

We have just te done our kitchen and not sure where to put them and what to put them in. I no longer want to keep them in the plastic bag they come in and I am going to try and buy them loose anyway to stop the plastic consumption. Some sort of hessian bag?

Potato bag on a hook as I don’t have a drawer / cupboard space

[Akire]

I keep mine in ceramic bowl with tea towel over the top to keep it “dark”. In small flat so there isn’t a cool place to keep them and no room in the fridge.

[FourEyesGood]

In my potato rack.


Not really - in a cloth bag inside a cupboard.

Basket in the cupboard

In the fridge, even though I know it's meant to spoil them. They don't seem any different to me and last ages.

The fridge. I tried the cupboard and they started sprouting in a couple of days. They last for ages in the fridge.

In a special potato bag from Lakeland.

[EvaHarknessRose]

A lined hessian potato bag, possibly from Lakeland, I can’t remember. I have an onion and a garlic one too, in smaller sizes.

Also in a Lakeland potato bag here..
And not in the same cupboard as onions - apparently they give off gases which spoil the potatoes much quicker.

Brown paper bag in the garage. They always seem to last ages!

Inside the eleven year old. He’s not yet met a potato dish he doesn’t enjoy getting on the outside of:o

[NetballHoop]

In a cardboard box in one of the cupboards they snuggle up with onions and sweet potatoes.

[FunnysInLaJardin]

In the fridge, they last far longer.....and I come from the land of the Jersey Royal so it must be the best way

[KevinKeegansPerm]

In a cardboard box in my shed with the rest of the veg.

[ShakeYourTailFeathers]

In the Pantry (just a big walk in cupboard)

i heard that you should keep them away from onions as they encourage the spuds to sprout....
