As sf said, before mentioning her version of twice baked potatoes, don't
store them in the refrigerator. Store them in a cool, dark place. I
store potatoes in a bin in the pantry.

I don't know about these potato bags people are talking about. I try
not to buy more potatoes (or onions) than I will need for more than a
couple of meals. No need for bags. Your mileage may vary.
