After storing our beautiful potatoes the skin has begun to turn green.WHY? They are stored in our heated gargage at 46-50 degres. We live in SOUTH CENT. PA. Nothing else has been affected in the potatoes.They are stored in plastic milk baskets. Also we cleaned them with a power sprayer with clean cold water and left out to dry for about a week. HELP.

Helen,
You must keep your potatoes in the dark to avoid any chlorophyll production in the tubers. Try covering the milk baskets with newspaper or even a blanket - anything to keep them in the dark. You can cut/peel the green parts away before you cook them and they should be OK but get them covered up and out of the light.

Thank you very much for the info. This will be very simple to take of. Never thought about the sun light.
