This is my second year of growing Yukon I was just wondering if anybody knows if I can leave them into the ground to store the fruit for a few months like a potato thank you

Depending on where you live - I wouldn't leave them in the ground if a chance of rain/heavy rain - they would rot. We are having the wettest Oct on record where I live. Maybe store in a box with sand or just store them in a cool/dry place.
