As a child my family would store potatoes in our cellar all winter into the next year where we would plant them again. Staying between 45-50°F, with high humidity, good ventilation, and no light will make them last 6 months or more.
We put our save potatoes in a burlap sack and buried them below the frost line. They came out in the spring almost exactly like they went in in the fall.
How did they store them? The only cellar I’ve ever been in was of the house we lived in when I was a little kid, and I remember it as so wet and filled with spiders, and maybe the average cellar isn’t quite like that.
