[QUESTION] How long can you store potatoes before they begin to mold?
  • How did they store them? The only cellar I’ve ever been in was of the house we lived in when I was a little kid, and I remember it as so wet and filled with spiders, and maybe the average cellar isn’t quite like that.

  • I’d get them in plastic, and try to cut the top side of the bag all open within a few days, and often I get through them all without problems but sometimes not.

    I do now have a plastic container I could dump them in that could be an improvement. I’ve thought of cardboard boxes but I imagine spores getting into the cardboard for the next potatoes and maybe moisture from the potatoes being a problem.

    My mother kept potatoes in a plastic container in a cabinet, but I don’t know how well they kept or how quickly we used them up.

  • Interesting. I’d read how vegetables “used to” go in root cellars for winter, but I would just imagine a hole dug in the cellar of the house where I lived as a kid, and vegetables dumped in. I had no idea of stacking or anything.

    I know, cool dry place, and it depends on your climate, etc. But what is your experience?
