- December to March: The months of December through March are the peak potato production months in the Canary Islands. The potatoes are at their peak ripeness and have a delicious flavor.

Selection tips
Here are some tips for choosing potatoes:
- Look for potatoes that are fresh and have smooth skin. Fresh potatoes should have smooth, shiny skin. If the skin is wrinkled or blemished, the potato may be old or rotten.
- Avoid potatoes that are damaged or bruised. Damaged or bruised potatoes may be rotten or contaminated.
- Choose potatoes of the same size. Potatoes of the same size will cook evenly.
- Choose the right variety of potato. There are many different types of potatoes, each with its own flavor and texture. Choose the type of potato that best suits the recipe you're going to prepare.
Conservation
Some tips for preserving potatoes:
- Store potatoes in a cool, dry place. Potatoes can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days, but it's best to store them in a cool, dry place. An ideal place to store potatoes is in a wooden or cardboard box, in a pantry, or in a basement.
- Avoid storing potatoes in the light. Light can cause potatoes to turn green, which can make them taste bitter.
- Avoid storing potatoes near fruits or vegetables that produce ethylene, such as apples or bananas. Ethylene can accelerate the aging process of potatoes.
- Check the potatoes regularly and remove any that are damaged or rotten. Damaged or rotten potatoes can contaminate the other potatoes.
If you follow these tips, you can preserve potatoes for several weeks.

The potatoes are fantastic. Very tasty, you can tell they're organic, just like the ones I find at the farmers market.
