How long do russet potatoes stay fresh and how can you best preserve them?
I have stored russet potatoes for up to a year. I glean my potatoes in early October in a field that is currently being harvested. I store them in my garage until early November. I do not wash them and check them for rot or cuts before storing them in my root cellar in the basement. The root cellar stays between 36 and 46 degrees until the end of April. I store up to 2 barrels of potatoes this way. In May I go over my potatoes again and store them in the refrigerator until September when I can pick some of the new crop. Aroostook potato farmers store tons of potatoes until mid August in refrigerated warehouses. Russet potatoes can be kept for up to a year if temperature and humidity are right.
What do you treat potato sets with to store them?
Potatoes don't need to be treated. So long as they are stored in a cool(40 degrees and not in the refrigerator), dark place with humidity of 90-95% they should be fine till the next planting season. On a side not do not store damaged potatoes because they will spoil the bunch and they store best in well ventilated crates with sand in the bottom. Before storing harvested potatoes will need to be cured for 2 weeks at a temperature of 50-60 degrees with a relative humidity of 85 - 90%. If storage temp get above 50 the potatoes will sprout after a few months. On a side not do not store potatoes with onions unless you want to lose the whole bunch.
