We've had excellent luck storing root crops in unperforated large 2 mil plastic bags from Uline. We punch holes in the bottom of each bag with a serrated knife and that has been adequate to drain excess moisture and keep carrots and beets from October to April.

One option is Putnam Plastics. See:

I've not heard of using these for potatoes but they are great for carrots,
beets, and other root crops.
