Storage Tips
Store up to 6 months.

Store potatoes in a cool, dark, and dry place such as a pantry or cellar.

Ideal storage temperatures are between 50-60°F (10-15°C).

Use breathable containers like mesh bags or cardboard boxes to avoid trapping moisture. 
Keep potatoes away from onions,garlic, and fruits which accelerate sprouting.

Culinary Tips
When boiling and mashing, start potatoes in cold water to ensure even cooking.

Always dry potatoes thoroughly before roasting to maximize crispiness. 

To bake potatoes with crispy skin, poke holes in each one with a fork and skip the foil, which traps moisture and makes skins soggy. 

Baked Potatoes - pierce skins multiple times with a fork, coat in olive oil + salt, bake directly on the oven rack at 400° for 45 minutes to an hour.

When pan frying potatoes for dishes like homefries, parboil them first for quicker cooking and a fluffy interior.

Use starchy potatoes (like Russets) for baking and mashing, and waxy potatoes for boiling or salads.

You can peel and cut potatoes ahead of time, storing them in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator for up to two days.
