The traditional way of storing potatoes doesn’t involve canning or freezing —

*don’t wash the dirt off after you dig them up
*store in a cool, dark, space (if you don’t have a cellar, an inside closet should do)
*store in layers in wooden crates or baskets, with newspaper between each layer

This method should keep your potatoes most of the way through the winter, and the bottom layers should be suitable for seed for next season...

Do you know if that works in areas of high humidity? I live in South Carolina, 60-80% humidity is common, and I would like to be able to store potatoes.
