Potatoes really are the people\u2019s food, so much so that we each eat around 103kg of them every year \u2013 that\u2019s roughly 500 medium-sized potatoes a year.<\/p>\n

Yet despite how much we love the humble spud, they still come with their difficulties, especially when they start sprouting.<\/p>\n

Many have imparted their wisdom over the years about how best to store them, with some measures more effective than others and a seemingly never-ending debate about where best to store them.<\/p>\n

And now one TikToker has shared her potato storage technique that she absolutely swears by.<\/p>\n

@dr.erincarter is a wellness blogger and rheumatologist (a specialist who diagnoses and treats arthritis and other immune-related diseases) who uses her TikTok profile of almost 70,000 followers to share healthy recipes and health info.<\/p>\n

She said in the video: “I\u2019m going to show you a storage hack for potatoes that is going to change your life.”<\/p>\n

Her wisdom when it comes to storing potatoes is therefore another illustration of her offering health advice, as green or sprouted potatoes can cause toxicity from solanine and chaconine.<\/p>\n

Her first step in the process is simple: remove your shop-bought potatoes from their plastic bag and transfer them over to a paper bag.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all very easy, but up next comes Erin’s “real secret” – adding an apple to the bag.<\/p>\n

It might seem like an odd move but the science behind it is reputable and has even been backed up by a 2016 study in the Journal of Food Science and Technology.<\/p>\n
