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.
Before placing the potatoes in storage, remove loose soil and take them indoors to further dry and cure. Cure potatoes at a temperature of 45-60 F (7-16 C) and high relative humidity (85 to 95 percent) for two weeks. Final healing of minor cuts and bruises and thickening of the skin occurs during the curing process. For the next page in this section follow this link to Storing potatoes.
