We harvest our potatoes after the first frost or when the plants are completely dead, whichever comes first. We keep ours in a root cellar with no problems but ours does have ventilation. Cool, dry and dark are essential things to keep potatoes from sprouting. An old wife's tale that seems to work for me is putting a few apples on a plate on top of your potatoes. They do not have to be anything special fresh or other wise. The tale is that as the apples rot they displace the oxygen and prevent sprouting. It may be a coincidence but I have seen it more than once of the pile of potatoes with the apples on them had fewer sprouters or sprouted later than the other piles. We just use the damaged or fallen apples from our apple tree. Results may vary!
