I find myself with about 40 kg (90lbs) of sweet potatoes, these are
the white-fleshed ipomoea sort. Last year I tried to keep them in a
cool dry place in the shed through winter but they didn't last. The
shed would have been 0-15C (32-60F) mostly. I will give away a fair
amount while they are fresh but still want to keep some. What is
the best way to keep them? How do they go if frozen? Any special
tips on freezing?

We used to have them down in the basement near the oil burner. None
were allowed to touch and a small fan was on for additional air
circulation. Never had over two bushel so the scale was small.
This site near the end has some info you may incorporate in your
preservation efforts.
