Cool yes, but not cold. But hey if it works for you then that is all that matters.choclatechef said:Potatoes should be kept in a cool dry dark place anyway.

Take a couple pounds of potatoes and divide them in half. Put half under the sink or wherever, and half in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator.
Check in one month, and compare.

The cabinet under a sink is not a cool dry place - it is usually humid and has temperature fluctuations (from washing dishes, etc.) that make it warmer than just about any other place in the kitchen ... and being in a cabinet restricts air flow.

However, if you toss an apple in with your potatoes, that will prevent them from sprouting... The article said an apple emits some gas or fumes (can't remember or spell what it is anyway) that somehow inhibits the "eyes" sprouting.
I've been doing this and it works..
