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.
