Potatoes are one of the foods that can be successfully stored for a long time and do not require cooling. However, this does not mean that we can store them anywhere. If we place them in the wrong place, they will quickly rot and will not be suitable for consumption. What should you be careful about storing potatoes? We explain.

Are potatoes rotting fast? Do this thing and last for a few months

  • Potatoes are best stored in a cool and dry place without accessing light.
  • The cellar is ideal for this, but not everyone has such a room.

However, you do not have to worry, because even in the apartment the potatoes can last for several months. But if you take care of them properly.

  • The most important rule is that potatoes should not be stored in a plastic bag.
  • A much better option is a textile or paper mesh that allows free air circulation.
  • The kitchen is not a very suitable place due to the high temperatures.
  • Potatoes are better placed in the hallway and inevitably outside the heat sources, ie not next to the radiator.
  • Some people store potatoes, for example in a refrigerator, others are categorically against this method of storage.

There is also a big difference in the potato type you buy.

  • Young potatoes should be consumed as soon as possible, but the mature late tubers of potatoes are also suitable for long storage.
  • Pay attention to what potatoes look like in the store. They should be firm and hard. Soft and wrinkled potatoes are after their best form. They will not then be so tasty and can start to rot quickly.

And one more important thing.

  • Potatoes should not be stored next to the onion. It then shortens their shelf life.
