Hi Connie,
Thank you for reaching out. It would be fine to lay your freshly dug potatoes on a tarp in your shed. It is important that the potatoes stay in a cool, dry, dark area that is free of pests (like mice). you can also store them in a crate or a box in the shed, root cellar or in a basement that will stay cool and dark.
