You do not want them super dry only that there’s no water on them.  
Just split the bulbs apart and place them in a paper bag and leave them in a dry dark non humid room  
I usually just leave them in my garage on a shelve till October or November.  
I also add either vermiculite or dry shaving into the paper bag so the bulbs do not over dry.
