Just received a basket of fresh picked red and white potatoes from a farm in Erie PA, dirt still on. So I wash them befer storing?
Also whats the best way to store them and how long should they last?

Unwashed, cool, dark, dry in their sacks----but also humid as to the surrounding air, as in a basement. That way, they will keep until March, when they will sprout, even in the dark.
…and away from your onions.

They'll keep the longest in a cool, dry, dark environment. Imagine a root cellar!
