Red potatoes provide you with essential vitamins, minerals and energy you need to fuel your busy day. This root vegetable makes a healthy addition to a well-balanced diet. You’ll get the most nutritional benefits from red potatoes by eating their skin along with the white flesh.

Keep your potatoes in a cool, dark place for the best and longest storage possible. Warm temperatures and light both can have adverse effects on potatoes. The optimum temperature for storing potatoes is between 45-55 degrees F. Storing potatoes in a refrigerator is not a good option because it allows the starches to break down into sugars, which may change the flavor. If you must refrigerate them, try to use them within a few weeks to avoid this issue and enjoy the best possible flavor.
