Since they have a slightly higher sugar content, gold potatoes do not store as well as russets. 1  They need a cold environment, 40 to 50 degrees F., and 90 percent humidity is optimum. 2  Potatoes with a higher sugar content will brown more quickly during cooking.
1 Store the sweet potatoes in a root cellar or other place with a temperature of at least 55Â°F. 2  The ideal temperature range is 55Â° to 60Â°F. 3  The roots should last for about 6 months. 4  When removing the potatoes from storage, remember to be gentle; do not dig around or else you will bruise the potatoes. You can buy slips from garden centers, nurseries, or local farmers. 2  You can also grow your own slips to plant in the spring. 3  In November (this is when the best of the new harvest will be out), go to your supermarket and look for unblemished and uncracked medium sweet potatoes. 4  One potato should yield about 12 plants.
