TO PRESERVE POTATOES.

THIS IS ANOTHER PIECE OF INFO. I COLLECTED WHILE LIVING ON CAPE YORK, BUT HAVEN'T YET TRIED.  IT MIGHT COME IN HANDY FOR SOME-ONE.

TO PRESERVE POTATOES.

DIP INTO BOILING WATER FOR 1 MINUTE.  STORE IN A COOL DARK PLACE.  SHOULD KEEP ABOUT 1 YEAR.  THEY WON'T SPROUT.

good one Xina.  We don't use potatoes very quickly and it seems that they are always sprouting when I go to use them.   Will certainly try this one.  Let me know if you do it before me.   Ma

Hi Ma,
I think you'll be trying it before I do.  I'd appreciate any feedback, good or bad. 
Cheers,
xina.

Well Ma, I have been patiently waiting for 6 months now to see if this works.

Ha ha, not really, I just saw this post and am wondering.....does it work?

Cheers  Neil

Truth to tell Neil, I haven't tried it yet cry

Too many people to feed - hence no potatoes to spare

Oh heck that's just an excuse, I just haven't got round to it, sorry.
