According to him,

*Don’t buy soft ones. Buy the firm and tight ones.
*Avoid potatoes with sprouting.
*Don’t buy potatoes with a greenish-tinge or green colour on top.
*Wash the potatoes only before use. Don’t wash them after getting them from the market. The moisture on top of the potato spoils it faster.
