Properly stored, raw potatoes will last for 1 to 2 weeks at normal room temperature. To maximize the shelf life of potatoes, store in a cool (45-55Â° F; warmer than the refrigerator, but colder than normal room temperature) dark area; under those storage conditions, potatoes will last about 2 to 3 months.
