How do I reuse a big brown paper potato sack?

I bought one of those big £2.49 bags of potatoes from Morrisons and the last few are now bubbling away for mash tonight. any ideas how I can reuse the sack? It stands a good 2 foot high and is double thickness brown paper. I can't just shove it in the recycling, that's far too unimaginative!

They're excellent for storing any sort of potatoes. If you have an allotment nearby, I bet the owners would be snapping your hands off, as they're quite expensive to buy.

Could you cut it up and use it to line the bottom of your kitchen bin underneath the bin bag [I do this with newspaper] or cut it up and use it for filling in parcels you're going to send?

Keep it for storing potatoes or any other root veg in. Remember to store in a cool, dry place e.g. garage, shed etc ... but it must be frost free.
