What Recommendations Do You Have For Me For Properly Bagging French Fries?

I own two fast casual burger restaurants in middle Tennessee. We only serve Idaho grown potatoes. 50% of our orders are to go orders/take-out orders. While I understand that using styrofoam boxes is a huge no-no for bagging french fries, it is not clear what is recommended for proper bagging of hot french fries. I recognized that french fries need to be ventilated when bagged. What recommendations do you have for me for properly bagging french fries? What can you teach me when bagging french fries?

How Do I Store Potatoes Without Having Them Sprout?

You say to store potatoes in a dark spot inside a cupboard in your kitchen. I did that, and my granddaughter did it, and both of our potatoes started sprouting and I think she said hers even had worms in it. So I'm hoping putting it in the lower bin of the refrigerator will work.
