You Say,"Potato"

I have a very serious question.  It keeps me up at night.  It makes me sweat because I'm trying so hard to think of an answer.  I (used to) twirl my hair over it.  I pore over books to find a solution.

Please, where can I keep my potatoes?  Can someone help me with this problem?  I do not have a great "potato storage area."  Do you?  Is there such a thing?  If I had a lot of money, I would give someone a big reward for helping me come up with a brilliant, economical, and attractive solution to this...

Lovely, no?  You cannot see the potatoes, because they are in the brown paper bag.  That is my attempt at "a cool, dark place."  So you see, I need some help from you smart people out there!

hah, i was just thinking about the same thing the other day when putting our potatoes away. My only thought was a brown paper bag...LOL. But then I wondered if putting them in a brown paper bag sped along the process of "ripening" as it does with some fruits/veggies. I have seen some people use little wood "baskets" (some with lids, some without).

I don't spend too much time worrying about it though because quite frankly, potatoes are cheap (at least here they are) and we eat them quickly (most of the time). I will admit to throwing a bag away that had turned green in tone last week...hee hee. The bag also said that they would taste bitter if green...that didn't sound appealing to me.
