Choose healthy, firm seed potatoes with visible eyes
Keep potatoes in a cool, bright place out of direct sunlight
Place them in a single layer in an egg carton, tray, or box
Maintain moderate humidity and good air circulation
Wait for short, sturdy sprouts to form
Avoid storing them in darkness if you want sprouts to develop
Remove any potatoes that become soft, moldy, or rotten
Plant once sprouts are about 1 to 2 inches long
Handle sprouted potatoes gently to avoid breaking the sprouts
