If you mean to keep them in the house, take them out of the plastic and keep them cool and in the dark, preferably in a brown paper bag. This was how they used to be stored, in paper sacks and I used to keep a big bag for about three months by keeping them in the cool ( in a dry shed actually)and making sure the bag was closed up when I had taken out the potatoes I wanted.

Keep them away from the onions. Onions produce and give off a natural gas that quickens the decay of potatoes. Also, potatoes release a natural gas that speeds up the decay of onions too.
Do NOT refrigerate because their starch turns to sugar and produces an undesirable taste.

keep the potatoes in a dark cool area. if you put the potatoes in a warm area, the skin will go bad or wrinkly, so make sure it is a dark and cool area, like the bottom drawer in a fridge since the fridge is dark and it's also a cool area.

Put the whole bag of them in the fridge, right from the store.
They stay fresh about a month (as the day you bought them)
to 3 months longer.
