Keep them dark, dry and airy, for example in a paper or burlap sack, and away from onions and apples. Somewhere cool at 39 to 43 °F (4 to 6 °C), such as an unheated basement or garage, they keep much longer, while new potatoes keep for less time. Cut away sprouts and green patches generously; throw out potatoes that are mostly green or rotten.
