You save potatoes from a crop you have grown and store them in a fridge. Bring them out to chit and then plant at the correct time of the year. However, it is not recommended as saved potatoes can carry bacterial spores and fungal pests. This can ruin the crop and also put disease into the ground. The seed potatoes that you buy are certified as being free from viruses and diseases.
