I wouldn't do that. Just buy enough that you will use in a week. Cooked
and frozen can't be better than fresh ones.

Storing root crops in your garage is good. I know many people that do
that. It won't be good in the summer when your garage is hotter than
inside, but during fall and winter, a garage is the next best thing to a
root cellar.

Don't worry about rats. heheh You saw only one once. Store your things in
there and keep your garage door closed. Or put a shelf on the wall to store
potatoes. Regardless, you'll know if a rat has been feasting on your
potatoes.
