Summary
Storing potatoes in a cardboard box offers a practical, low-cost method for maintaining their freshness. Unlike bowls or baskets, which can lead to excessive sprouting and shriveling, cardboard boxes provide a semi-porous environment that balances humidity and airflow. This setup helps potatoes stay firm and flavorful for up to two months. Additionally, placing apples in the box can further delay sprouting due to the ethylene gas they emit. For optimal results, store the box in a superb, dark location away from direct sunlight.
