The best method that I have used is after they are peeled, just cover them with water and some ice cubes and let them sit. As long as they are completely covered with water, they will not brown.

Potatoes do not turn brown in water. They turn brown as a chemical reaction to exposure to air. First fill a container with cold water. As you peel each potato place it in the water immediatly. Do not overfill the container with potaoes.

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! Also coating them with lemon juice will prevent them going brown ^^^The air is what turns them brown, so that will not work. Lemon juice or orange juice will, though. It is the acid in the juice that prevents them from oxidizing and turning brown.
