What's the best way to store potatoes?
Potatoes should be stored in the dark, at temperatures of about 50F (10C). Keep them out of plastic bags, since they need air circulation to stay firm and edible. Try a wooden box or two paper bags, one inside the other.

The cool temperature is crucial: Temperatures colder than 40F (7C)--for instance, in the refrigerator--cause some of the potatoes' starch to convert to sugar, changing their taste. If kept at room temperature for more than a week, potatoes start shriveling or sprouting, and should be used as soon as possible.
