Storing potatoes in the fridge can actually be detrimental to their shelf life. Potatoes are best stored in a cool, dry place with good air circulation. When stored in the fridge, the cold temperature can cause the starch in the potatoes to convert to sugar more quickly. This can affect the taste and texture of the potatoes, making them sweeter and more prone to browning when cooked. Additionally, the moisture in the fridge can promote the growth of bacteria, which can cause the potatoes to spoil more quickly.

If you must store potatoes in the fridge, it's best to keep them in the crisper drawer or in a perforated plastic bag to allow for some air circulation. However, it's generally recommended to store potatoes in a cool, dry place outside of the fridge, such as a pantry or root cellar. Make sure to remove any sprouted or damaged potatoes from the storage area, as these can cause the others to spoil more quickly.

I hope this helps!
