A simple storage hack could keep potatoes fresh for months, according to a YouTube channel with over 226,000 followers. The tip, shared by Kitchen Tips Online, suggests using a baking sheet with a rack to store the vegetables.
The method involves placing unwashed potatoes on a rack set over a baking sheet, then storing them in a kitchen drawer. The video emphasises not washing the potatoes or disturbing their skin, and avoiding any moisture before storage.
For those without a cellar, this technique offers a practical alternative. The video claims it is a 'genius kitchen hack' that will keep potatoes 'fresh and delicious for months'. Viewers praised the tip, describing it as a 'big help'.
Tesco advises that potatoes can stay fresh for up to six months if stored correctly. They recommend using a mesh or paper bag, keeping potatoes away from other produce, and storing them in a cool, dark place below 10°C.
