How do folk do it? I'm a bit peeved on checking four days after lifting and
storing (left them out to dry for a couple of hours as advised by El
Flowerdew, but couldn't make the evening go cold) in a cardboard box, to
find spots of mildew already and some areas of eww yuk, pus. Squeeze it with
a finger and it shhots a good zitsworth.

Do I have to turn it all into shepherds pie topping and freeze it?

cheers


Store in burlap, brown paper, or perforated plastic bags away from
light, in the coolest, non-refrigerated, and well-ventilated part of
the house. Do not store near onions!
