I always buy potatoes in 3-5 pound bags. They are fine for 2-3 weeks. If
I see they are getting too old, I'll just cook the rest and freeze them.
Never any fresh potato loss here.

I like the potato flakes too occasionally. I just discovered a small
pack in my pantry. Will use them today or tomorrow.
