Potatoes: when it's in season and what to cook

Potatoes are usually at their best from August to November across much of the US. That includes now.

How to pick it

Pick firm potatoes with no green patches, sprouts or soft spots.

How to keep it

Store in a cool, dark, airy place, not the fridge and not next to onions.

Months are when each item is usually at its best across much of the US. Seasons start earlier in warm places and later in cool ones, and they shift from year to year, so your local farm stand or market is the best guide.
