Hello, Before storing, dry the potatoes in a moderate temperature and high humidity environment for about two weeks. This toughens the skin and helps the potatoes settle in for storage. 
Avoid storing potatoes with damage, as rot can start to set in. 
Keep potatoes away from excess moisture and light, which can cause them to rot or sprout. 
Don't wash potatoes before storing them, only wash them right before eating. 
Store potatoes in a well-ventilated container, like a basket or a plastic box with holes. 
Lay potatoes out in a single layer so they aren't touching each other. 
Store potatoes at a temperature of around 15-16°C. 
Thicker-skinned potatoes, like russet potatoes, can be stored for up to a year.
