storing spuds

I tried this in Edible Gardening but it rather fell by the wayside so I'm giving it another go here.

How do you guys store your shop bought spuds? I store mine in a nice cool, dark, not-too-damp room in a paper sack. This would seem to be the optimum conditions as far as I can gather.

But no matter what, after three or four weeks they're chitting and going soft. I tried keeping them in the fridge but, apart from the inconvenience of keeping 5kgs+ in there, it only seems to delay the inevitable a few extra days.

So come on, everyone, I want some cast iron tips on getting my spuds to stay better longer.

 

we just store our spuds in a veg basket out loose haven said that they don,t lay for 3 weeks luck if we get 3days from ours the amount we eat

 

we just eat them!
