First, you need to know that potatoes are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. If you expose them to too much of any of these, they'll go bad faster. So, keep them in a dark, cool place, like the fridge, to make them last longer.
Now, here's a fun fact: did you know that potatoes can actually absorb odors from other foods in the fridge? Yep, it's true! If you store potatoes near onions or fish, they might start to smell like them too.
