They don't last long around my house. If you can stand to not use them in potato pancakes or just reheat them within a week, they should go in the compost. This is assuming that your fridge is around 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Before you eat them, heat them to 140 throughout.
Try this instead: take the leftovers while they are still warm but not hot. Add an egg for each cup of potatoes and maybe a pinch of garlic salt. Mix with a fork. Patty them out in third to half cup amounts (about the size of a burger patty) and freeze them with wax paper between them, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. When you are having eggs next weekend, treat yourself to a potato pancake.
Mashed potatoes keep well frozen too, whether pancake or just tightly covered you can expect about 6 weeks of freezer time without degradation.

They will also turn brown if left exposed to the air long enough. The browning is oxidation. Plain raw potatoes that are sliced so the inner starch is exposed to the oxygen in the air will 'rust' or turn brown. Mashed potatoes are cooked and have other ingredients added to them like salt, butter, milk, etc. This cooking and the additives helps preserve the potatoes from oxidation for a longer period of time.
