Is It Ok to Put Potatoes in the Refrigerator
Sweet potatoes are the sensitive artists of the root vegetable world. They hate the fridge even more than regular potatoes. Cold makes them hard in the center and weirdly grainy—like eating a sad, dry sponge. Keep them in the pantry, away from light, and they’ll stay sweet and tender for weeks.
I once put a sweet potato in the fridge by accident, and when I baked it, it tasted like a rock that had given up on life. Never again. Learn from my mistakes, dear reader.
