Potato Tips...

Here are some great tips for potatoes:

• Don't store potatoes in the fridge. It will turn the starches into sugars. They also won't "fluff up" the same. It also make the white insides darken.
• Store potatoes in a dark, cool (40°-50°) place with some ventilation.
• When "eyes" sprout, they can be broken off and the potato can still be used. Or, you could cut a square 1-1/2″ around the sprout or "eye" and plant it 6″ deep and to grow your own potatoes.
• Soft wrinkly potatoes can be eaten, if they aren't spoiled. The flavor and texture aren't the same though.
• Don't wash your potatoes before storing them; it will quicken their spoilage rate.
