Sniffing potatoes

I’ve just whittled away the afternoon smelling potatoes. The spuds have been hanging up in the garage waiting to turn green. Despite checking them when digging them up, a few had turned putrid. The smell was horrid; hot cat shit.
I am anxious about storing them without anywhere cool to store them. The humidity is a real problem. The spuds were spaced out between layers of newspaper in a few boxes. Hopefully the orderly three layers will make checking them easier.

Best way to store them is in polystyrene boxes. You can get them free from supermarkets. The main problem with storing spuds is not keeping them cool, but keeping them at a fairly constant temp.
