Our potatoes are great, as a short-term crop. Wouldn't think of not planting them. But they store about as well as yours. Sweet potatoes OTOH, we have no trouble keeping in prime condition for 8-10 months. We dig'm, hose'm off, spread to dry on newspaper or cardboard in a fairly warm spot for a week or so, then put in wire baskets in a back room, without any particular temp control.
