All potato varieties should be uniformly sized, fairly clean, firm, and smooth. Avoid potatoes with wrinkled skins, soft dark spots, cut surfaces, or green appearance.
Short-term storage recommendation (7 days or less)
- 45-50° F/7-10° C
- 85-95% relative humidity
Sweet flavor or flesh that darkens when cooked are indications of chill injury; cold temperatures cause potato starch to convert to sugar which results in a sweet flavor. Store properly.
Shriveling, sprouting, and decay can occur if potatoes are stored at high temperatures, or with low air circulation.
Green-tinged skin may result if potatoes are exposed to light. For best quality, store potatoes in a dark area.
- Chop potatoes, yams, and sweet potatoes into thick strips; toss with thyme and olive oil; bake until browned; serve with house-made ketchup.
- Boil potatoes with butter and cream; stir in horseradish cream and parsley.
