✔ Store in a Cool, Dark Place – Ideal temperature: 40-50°F (4-10°C).
✔ Keep Potatoes Dry – Moisture encourages sprouting and rot.
✔ Use a Paper or Mesh Bag – Allows airflow and prevents condensation buildup.
✔ Don’t Store with Onions – Onions release gases that cause sprouting faster.
✔ Add Bay Leaves – Placing a few bay leaves with your potatoes helps delay sprouting.
4. What to Do If Your Potatoes Start Sprouting?
✅ Remove small sprouts immediately – If they’re tiny, just brush them off and use the potato soon.
✅ Don’t eat if heavily sprouted – Large sprouts indicate high levels of solanine, which can be harmful.
✅ Use sprouted potatoes for planting – If they have long sprouts, plant them instead of tossing them!
