Potatoes

Storage Tips

If you receive New Potatoes, this means the potatoes haven’t cured yet (developed a touch skin which helps preserve them). New potatoes should be stored in the fridge unless we indicate otherwise and should be eaten within two weeks.
For cured potatoes, store in a cool, dark place in your house such as a root cellar, pantry cabinet, closet or partially heated garage. Make sure the potatoes have good airflow, the humidity isn’t too high and the ideal temperature is between 42-55 degrees. The most important thing when storing potatoes is to keep the temperature stable, as drastic fluctuations in temperature can trigger them to sprout. Potatoes can store all winter long with the right conditions.

Most of the potatoes we grow have very thin skins, and the skins actually add a lot of flavor, so if you normally don’t like potato skins, you may like these.
New potatoes have a much shorter cooking time, so be sure to check regularly if following a recipe.
Any potatoes with a green tinge should be tossed—this means it was exposed to sun and can upset your stomach if consumed.
