These days I just buy potatoes at the store once a week, but the old storing methods have stuck with me. Potatoes have been one of the most popular staples in our country for centuries, so putting them up for winter is a top priority for any good home cook. There are countless ways to cook potatoes these days, but among the most popular are the methods for storing them through the winter. Most people simply keep their potatoes in a house or garage cellar. To make them last as long as possible under those conditions, choose a cool spot that isn't exposed to freezing temperatures or sunlight. Potatoes turn green in the sun, and you can't eat them once they do. Some people here — city dwellers especially — put potatoes up for winter in dried form. I know two methods for doing exactly that.
