For the owners of their houses, the problem of where to store potatoes in winter is not worth it – it is enough to have a dry dark basement or a cool pantry – the place allows. But what about those who live in an apartment?
1 way
Store potatoes under the sink in the kitchen – this is a fairly dark place and cool – far from the central heating radiators. Just don’t store potatoes in bags or non-breathable bags – buy a wicker or plastic basket with adequate ventilation.
2 way
On a balcony or loggia – it will be good to equip a wooden box with small holes there. The main thing is that there is a positive temperature on the balcony, and not -20. A box of potatoes can be insulated with foam or covered with old things and blankets.
3 way
Some houses in the kitchens have a so-called Khrushchev refrigerator – this is a small niche under the window. Storing potatoes and some other vegetables in it is ideal. There are such niches in new houses, only more modern and with the ability to regulate the air temperature. From time to time, check and sort out stocks so that the crop does not rot and germinate.
4 way
You can store potatoes in the entrance or hallway, if the residents do not mind. The temperature in non-residential premises is much lower. The main thing is to think over how to protect the potatoes from the encroachment of thieves – put a lockable cabinet, screw it securely to the floor or wall.
