Handling Tip
Selection
  • Idaho russet potato has a uniform brown color with no green appearance.
  • No signs of blemishes, soft spots, or spouts.
Storage
  • The Idaho russet potato should be stored at 50°F - 59°F (10°C - 15°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-five to ninety-nine percent and no mist.
  • The typical shelf life is two to twelve months depending on the quality at harvest and quality of storage. High temperatures lead to shriveling, sprouting, and decay.
  • Idaho russet potato is sensitive to odor and should not be stored with strong aroma products. Idaho russet potato also produces an odor that can be absorbed by apples and pears.
  • Idaho russet potato is sensitive to light. Exposure to light may lead to green-tinged skin. Store Idaho russet potato in a dark area for best quality.
  • Idaho russet potato is moderately sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Prolonged exposure to high levels of ethylene may induce sprouting. Idaho russet potato produces a very low level of ethylene. Ethylene production increases drastically for Idaho russet potatoes with bruises or cuts. 
  • Idaho russet potato is highly sensitive to chilling injury. Storage temperature of 34°F - 36°F (1°C - 2°C) can cause internal browning. Storage temperature of 37°F - 39°F (3°C - 4°C) can cause potato starch to convert to sugar which results in a sweet flavor. Idaho russet potato is also sensitive to freezing injury and the freezing point of 30°F (-1°C) should be avoided.
