As soon as you cut the potato put it in a bowl of cool water, it will keep them from turning brown for about 24 hours, just make sure that the potatoes are completely covered in the water.
Cover them with water with a bit of lemon juice or vinegar.

Any slightly acidic juice for example lemon juice that also works with apples
I usually keep them covered with water.

Yes it should. Potatoes turn brown when exposed to air. Covering them with any liquid should keep them from turning brown.
keep the sliced potatoes in cold water until you are ready to make the dish
Hash the potatoes into cold water before cooking. This will keep them from graying in the air.

All you have to do is keep them in a plastic bag with a tiny bit of air in it and put in the fridge. But eat them soon!
