when i was a lad, we used to grow spuds and at this time of year lift and store them by piling them together in the field on a thick bed of rushes and then cover them with more rushes and cover that with soil, then another covering of rushes and more soil. this kept them safe from frost. when it was finished the "hole" of spuds looked similar to a new grave. (excuse the comparison).
hope this helps.

ps keep the hole as far away as possible from fences etc or it may attract vermin looking for a warm nest for the winter.
