Yes they need ventilation so bins with slatted or wire mesh sides and bottoms of some type work best. You can find stackable open-sided plastic bins at stores like Walmart and Big Lots.

But be sure they don't freeze out there.

No light in the storage area as that can make them turn green, and toxic. I don't have that many, but when I store mine, they are in the fridge in the vegetable crisper where they keep for many months. You can also dry some after they have been peeled and sliced. I dip some in a sulfur water solution before drying and they don't turn black. Partial cooking before drying will also work. Diced or sliced, they are great for casseroles and soups.
