Default seed potatoes

Hi,

I am short of space this year so I won't be able to plant a whole bag
of seed potatoes. Can the left overs be stored until next year or do
they have to be thrown away?

TIA

I am no expert, but presume that you would have to store them in a
very dark place where the temperature is close to 0C in order to
prevent them from sprouting.

Do you have to throw them away? Cant to donate them to a friend or
relative who has more space to plant them?

Don't buy them in bags, find a garden centre who sells them buy the one!

How I do wish I could spell, the 'buy' should have been 'by'!
