Potatoes that are stored carelessly can be at risk of rotting or sprouting. Here's how to store potatoes so they last longer.

1. Proper storage place.

Store potatoes in a dark, cool, dry place. The ideal temperature for storing potatoes is around 7-10C. Keep away from direct sunlight because light can accelerate the growth of shoots on potatoes.

2. Avoid places that are too cold.

Although potatoes require cool temperatures, do not store them in a regular refrigerator because too low a temperature can cause the potatoes to become sweet or change their texture.

3. Don't wash the potatoes first.

Washing potatoes before storage can cause them to rot quickly. If potatoes are dirty, clean them only before cooking.

4. Store in a paper sack or container with holes.

Potatoes need good air circulation to avoid excessive humidity. Store potatoes in a paper sack or container with holes to allow air to circulate.

5. Separate from other fruits and vegetables.

Fruits and vegetables can speed up the ripening or spoilage of potatoes. Store potatoes separately from other fruits and vegetables.

6. Check and discard any that are starting to rot.

Regularly check stored potatoes. If any start to rot, throw them away immediately so they don't affect other potatoes.

7. Do not store together with onions.

Onions can speed up the ripening of potatoes, so it is better to store them separately.
