I look to have loads of nice early potatoes, new to this.. Do I just dig them up and store in sacks outside ? do they keep this way ?

[mashauk]

My earlies don't get chance to be stored, apart from in my tummy

You cannot store immature early crop spuds - what you might call "new".

Earlies can be stored, but only after maturity. You have to let the plant fully grow, die down, lift spuds, dry them & store in a cool, dry place in something like a paper or hessian sack. (That's a precis!).

You don't have to dig them up all in one go newby, just dig and eat as many as you need each time. The ones you leave in the ground they will keep growing. If you've got too many, do as DD says.

You can store potatoes in a clamp along with other root veg though I am realy not sure about new potatoes.
There is an article I read on this site about storing surplus potatoes, heres the link

if this helps pound land is selling hessian sacks for £1 a pop cheapest ive seen them worth getting one if you have a store near you.
