My father in law has been dead for a number of years. But he used to grow a boat load of taters every summer, . . . to keep the family fed during the winter.

He did not have a cellar or basement, . . . so he resorted to "hilling them in".

As I recall, . . . he dug a hole, . . . lined it with straw, . . . put in the taters, . . . covered them with straw, . . . then covered the whole thing with about 6 or 8 inches of dirt.

I only saw the result of it once, . . . long before I ever thought of prepping, . . . and wanted to know if anyone on here "hills in" their taters, . . . and if you do, . . . do I recall correctly???

I'm going to can some, . . . but wanted some for just regular eating, . . .

May God bless,
Dwight
