Depends on how long you want to preserve them. Whole potatoes don't freeze well. Shredded hash browns and French fries, on the other hand preserve very well up to 3 - 4 weeks.
If you just want to keep them fresh for a day or three, peel them, rinse them and them soak them in fresh water with a little lemon juice to prevent oxidation (turning brown). Soak them for about 15 - 30 minutes, then drain and put them into enough fresh water to cover completely. Store in an uncovered container in fridge. Change the water every couple of days.
I've actually kept fresh, whole potatoes this way for 6 or 7 days. But they tend to get a little mushy after that.

Raw peeled irish potatoes will keep for a day or two in the refrigerator or cooler after being peeled and/or sliced if you cover them with water. The water keeps the potatoes from turning or oxidizing. Change the water a couple of times. At my restaurant, this is how we were able to keep ahead of our potato requests when we didn't have time to prepare potatoes for just one meal during rush hour. Potatoes get mushy if you freeze them(even blanching them first), since potatoes are a high water content veggie.

You can' freeze them without processing in hot water first. The hot water stops the ripening process so they won't rot when you freeze them. If you intend to use the ram peeled potatoes with a couple of days you put them a glass bowl with water to cover and a little salt and cover the dish and put them in the refrig. Frozen potasoes when thawed will proba ly only be suitable for soup or mashed potatoes.

You put the peeled potatoes in a bowl of cold water and set them in the refridgerator. They will last for three days.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.
According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

I think if you keep them in a pot of water in the fridge they last a few days. The air is what makes them turn brown, so as long as they're submerged they should be fine!
Hope that helps!

Store them in ice water with a bit of vinegar or lemon juice, or in a air tight container in the fridge.
