Potatoes are well preserved from the light, and it is best to store them in a cool, dark, high humidity cellar. If there is no cellar at home, it is best to pick out the rotten and damaged ones after buying them back, then pack them with bamboo baskets or bamboo baskets and put them in a place that is dark, ventilated and dry. But personal advice is that it is best to buy as many potatoes as you eat to avoid sprouting and being difficult to handle.

Can I eat potatoes when they sprout and turn green?

I can't eat it. Because sprouting and turning green potatoes contain higher solanum nigrum, which is a toxic substance that can occur after human and animal consumption reaches a certain dose, and through testing, it is found that the content of solanum nigrum in germinated green potatoes is much higher than the safe dose of 20 mg in 100 grams, so eat germinated green potatoes, its health risk is greater, it is best not to eat it.

If it is a small amount of germination, cut off the germination part and eat it. If there are only a small number of sprouting eyes on the potato surface, then removing the germinated part is edible, because most of the solanum nigrum is concentrated in the germinating position, and the content in the place where it has not germinated is very little. according to CCTV's "is it true" related testing, remove the slightly germinated potato sprouting eye part, solanin content in the edible range, is edible, but if the germination is more serious, you can not eat to avoid food poisoning.

The above is the introduction of how to preserve potatoes. I hope it will be helpful to you.
