Storing Potatoes in Cold Temperatures

​Potatoes stored below 40 degrees F will not sprout and will remain firm for long periods. However, such  storage will often lead to starches being converted to sugars, which will give tubers an undesirable sweet taste. Placing potatoes at room temperature for 2 to 3 days will allow sugars to be converted back to starches and remove the objectionable taste. (Ward Upham)
