Potatoes are used almost every day in Indian kitchens, so storing them the right way helps save time and reduce waste. These simple tips will help you keep your potatoes fresh, firm, and ready to use whenever you need them.
Store potatoes in a basket or paper bag inside a dark cupboard or pantry. Make sure there is some air circulation. Avoid plastic bags, as they trap moisture.
Onions release gases that make potatoes sprout faster. Always store them in separate shelves or baskets.
Cold temperature can change the flavour and make the texture grainy. Room temperature storage works best for Indian climates.
Go through your potato stock every few days. Remove any that have begun to sprout or turn soft to prevent them from affecting the rest.
Try to finish older potatoes before using fresh ones. Follow a simple system where the older batch is kept in front and the new ones go at the back.
