[WIN] Potatoes are a staple in every cupboard
This versatile veg can last up to two months if stored right.
Few things are as hearty as a potato served in a stew, as skinny fries or as a crisp, roast potato.
Raymond Petrowski, store manager of Food Lover’s Market Krugersdorp, shared some useful tips on the best ways to store potatoes so that it keeps for up to two months.
• Make sure that you store potatoes in a dark, cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
• Keep potatoes separate from onions, as onions release ethylene gas, which can cause potatoes to sprout prematurely.
• Don’t refrigerate potatoes because the starch will convert to sugar and the potato will be glassy with a sweet taste.
