Putting an apple in a bag of potatoes will keep them from sprouting. Doesn't matter what kind of apple it is.

Put and apple in the bag with your potatoes, and they will not sprout.

To keep potatoes from sprouting, lay an apple in with your potatoes. A chemical (gas) that the apple give off will help to keep them from sprouting.

My friend tried this and the potatoes still sprouted. She put a fresh apple in a plastic bag that the potatoes came in and sealed it with the plastic tab fastener. Is there any special tip other than the apple? (06/28/2005)
