Most of the troubles from Lifting tubers come from not dryimg them out properley. Some folks advocate sticking a screwdriver in the cut stem and trhu the bottom of the tuber to ensure the excess moisture comes out. I just stick min e upside down on the greenhouse staging for a couple of weeks - like ripening onions for storage - so long as they are reasonably big I've never had probs with them if you do this
