Two potato cultivars, Kufri Bahar and Kufri Jyoti, were stored in heaps and pits under ambient conditions of subtropical plains of northern India. Their chipping quality was determined after 90 days of storage. There was a significant reduction (by 33.84%) in the reducing sugar concentration and improvement (by 31.63%) in chip colour. Sugar levels in stored potatoes were within the acceptable limit for processing and table purposes indicating that potatoes stored up to 90 days on the farm in heap and pits are suitable for these two purposes.
