Pick a container. You may store your potatoes in the plastic bag in which they came or you can invest in a brown paper bag or burlap sack to further increase freshness.
Add an apple to the bag of potatoes. An apple may prevent potatoes from budding early. In addition, keep a fresh lemon near the bag of potatoes.
