Here are some facts to consider before harvesting and storing your potatoes:
Dig potatoes when the soil is dry, being careful not to skin or bruise the tubers. Do not wash the potatoes. Place them in crates or some suitable containers and store them in a dark area for about 10 days at a temperature of 60 to 65°F and a high relative humidity. After this curing period, keep the potatoes at 40 to 45°F with the humidity near 85 percent and provide good air circulation.
