Potatoes are one of the main vegetables that are often served on the table in Russian families.
Therefore, it is customary to buy it in bags for the winter and preserve your own harvest until spring as much as possible.
Culinary expert of TUT NOVOSTI, cook and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will tell you what rules you need to apply in order to enjoy dishes from the tubers of the new harvest before the arrival of spring.
Rules for storing potatoes
The first thing to do after buying is to sort out the tubers. Even one potato that has started to spoil can spoil other whole fruits.
The second rule is that potatoes should never be stored if they are even slightly damp. It is important to dry the tubers and clean them from excess soil to avoid mold and rot.
Third point - wooden boxes are best for storing potatoes. It is better to put newspapers between the potato layers to absorb excess moisture.
And don't forget that heat is as destructive to vegetables as excessive cold. Therefore, potatoes should be stored in a cool, dry and dark place away from radiators.
