  • Should I keep my potatoes in the fridge? If I keep them in a cupboard they sprout.🤔

  • They go sweet if you put them in the fridge, or so I was told.

  • "We previously advised consumers against storage of raw potatoes in the fridge at home, as it was thought this could lead to the formation of additional sugars (known as cold sweetening) which can then convert into acrylamide when the potatoes are fried, roasted or baked.

    A recent study, which has been reviewed by the Committee on the Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT), has shown that home storage of potatoes in the fridge doesn’t materially increase acrylamide forming potential when compared to storage in a cool, dark place."

  • you want dark and dry. moisture will be what sprouts them, fridges have too much moisture. use a basket on a shelf or counter that isn't in the sun and good air circulation.
