How can you prevent potatoes from sprouting "eyes"? Those things that turn into roots and you have to cut off.

Question

Every time I have potatoes at home they grow eyes with in a week.

How can I prevent that from happening?

It might have some thing to do with the fact that I live in FL and the humidity and heat affects them. IDK.

What do they do in the store to prevent that?

What if I put them in the fridge or freezer or some thing? Just a thought.

Answer 1

You can keep them in the fridge from germinating. It will delay the process but they will eventually germinate.
