my seed potatoes have arrived how do i store them till march

I think it's the possibility of disease as the seed potatoes are usually certified with something (disease resistance? not sure!). Perhaps they have been sprayed with all sorts of horrible chemicals? I'm too new to potato growing to really know.

Gunners, when are you putting your spuds in? I won't put mine in until April so don't want to buy them until March. Last year I bought in February and they chitted in the cold dark cupboard they were in and the sprouts were 3" long when I planted them!
