What are you doing with them that you've had to throw them away? Keep them
in a cool dark place and they will store quite well for a good stretch of
time. Just make sure it's not a damp place. If you don't have such a place,
then put them back in the ground. Potatoes keep a long time. My aunt has a
room in her basement where she keeps preserves and such, and in there is a
huge wooden bin for potatoes. They use them throughout the entire winter.

As for using them, the possiblities are of course, endless. One thing you
can do if you have a good size freezer is homemade hashbrowns, roasted
potatoes, and fries. As to the rest, keep them as suggested and use them as
you need them
