Storage tips

  • This is the recommended storage method for whole potatoes.
  • Freezer timeline applies to cooked and mashed potatoes.
  • The United States Potato Board notes refrigeration can cause potatoes to darken during cooking and to develop an unpleasantly sweet taste.

Times are for best quality when stored at safe temperatures, from the USDA FSIS FoodKeeper. Food kept frozen at 0°F stays safe indefinitely; the freezer time is for quality. Throw out cans that are bulging, leaking or badly dented.
