Russet potatoes are a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin B6 and potassium. The large amount of starch in a russet potato makes them light and fluffy, perfect for baking.
Keep your potatoes in a cool, dark place for the best and longest storage possible. Warm temperatures and light both can have adverse effects on potatoes. The optimum temperature for storing potatoes is between 45-55 degrees F.
Storing potatoes in a refrigerator is not a good option because it allows the starches to break down into sugars, which may change the flavor. If you must refrigerate them, try to use them within a few weeks to avoid this issue and enjoy the best possible flavor.
