It is about time to dig potatoes here. I can never get them to last. I can make a field of wheat grow but I can't keep my potatoes from sprouting in a month's time! What are some of my options?

What will make them keep the longest? I know the easy stuff like 'don't wash them'. I'm talking about something that will get me some home grown potatoes at Thanksgiving.
