I grow Yukon Gold that are naturally notorious for rotting faster than others. But, I just love fresh green beans, ham and potatoes! You cannot beat new potatoes!
We used to grow large crops of Kenebec potatoes. But I like Russert now. But They all don’t keep like they used to.
This may or may not be helpful for somethings you may try:

As to the cause of the potatoes going bad, I’m at a loss...
“I just love fresh green beans, ham and potatoes!”
I’m so envious right now. Here in Northern Utah we still have several inches of snow on the ground and I’ll not be able to plant for at least 10 weeks :( I’m thinking of putting some pots in my southern window’s. I have some bamboo and a big rosemary plant inside right now, but I’m getting itchy for my garden!
