This article seems to contradict itself. Near the beginning it says storing at a low temperature can increase toxicity. Then near the end, it suggests storing potatoes in a cool place. Which is it?
- mkr-hn 5y agoI think of low temperature as the fridge. Cool place would be in the shade or in a cabinet.
- gniv 5y agoIt's because storing potatoes properly is actually tricky in a house or apartment. At some point I was frustrated that my potatoes were turning green and I did some research. I remembered my grandparents storing potatoes for an entire winter, so it couldn't be too hard. The trick seems to be to store them cool, but not cold. Probably 50s and 60s F (and in the dark). There is no such environment in a typical home unless you have a cold basement or wine cooler.
