How long does it take for potatoes to rot and why?
If stored in a cool dry place (not in the refrigerator, but in a wire container) at about 45 to 50 degrees and away from onions you should expect them to last for about 4-6 months. The main reason potatoes rot so quickly is do to improper storage. Many people leave the potatoes in the bag they purchased them in, store them in the refrigerator (which affects the cell structure), store them with onions (they will produce gases that will promote decomposition) or leave them were light and warm temperatures will cause your potatoes to sprout. Damaged potatoes should be stored separately and used first because they will cause the other potatoes to rot.
