Sweet Potatoes: Available year-round with peak season from October through January. Choose small to medium, smooth-skinned potatoes that are firm and free of soft spots. Store in a cool, dry, dark place for up to 1 week.

Potatoes: Look for clean potatoes that have smooth, unblemished skins. They should be firm and have a shape that is typical for their variety. Avoid those that have green spots or are soft, moldy, or shriveled. Store in a well-ventilated, dark place that is cool and slightly humid (but not wet) for several weeks. Bright lights cause potatoes to develop green patches that have a bitter flavor. Do not refrigerate.
