Do not store potatoes in fridge

The Food Standards Agency’s website warns to never store potatoes in the fridge.

Apparently it’s the one food we should never refrigerate, because scientists believe the cold temperatures can convert the starch in the potato to sugar.

When baked or fried, these sugars then combine with amino acids (in the potatoes) to produce acrylamide, a chemical which is thought to be linked to cancer.
