Fridges are just excessively cold for potatoes. The cold temperature causes their starches to turn into sugar. This gives them a strange (and disadvantageous) sweet taste and an unpleasantly grainy texture when cooked.

This additional sugar likewise makes the potatoes darken rashly amid cooking, which makes them somewhat less appetizing. Experts recommend storing this vegetable in a cool but dry place, sheltered from the sun. If possible, place them in paper bags (because the plastic bags trap moisture and accelerate decomposition).

If you keep them as the specialists suggest above, most varieties of potatoes should remain fresh for up to 3 weeks.
