Selecting & Storing Potatoes
Keep in a cool, well ventilated place:
Around 45 - 50 degrees longer, but the starches will turn to sugars and change the taste of the potato Keep away from light when possible: Too much light causes potatoes to turn green and may cause a bitter taste Avoid potatoes with dark areas or green appearance CleanFirm Smooth Regular Shape (To avoid waste if peeling) Uniform Shape (To insure consistent cooking) Quality of Your Potatoes

appear to be rotten spots, when in fact they not affect the taste or use of the potato. Exposure of potato tubers to light in the
field, in storage, on the
