Put them in a clean bowl of water. They will be fine and not go brown.

My friend loved fried potatoes with every meal. When hunting, he'd peel and cut up his potatoes then carry then in a large thermos of cold water until ready to cook them. They never went black.

No lemon juice needed...
Just peel, cut & soak in water while refrigerated. (I don't cover them either) Drain off the water (it will be VERY starchy/cloudy) and refill with water when you are ready to cook them.
I do these the night before a big meal like Thanksgiving and have NEVER had a problem.

Peel them and cut them directly into a bowl of ice water. Keep them covered in the cold water until you need to cook them.
Yeah, and that drop of lemon juice mentioned above wouldn't hurt, either.

Peel and slice and store them in a bowl of water. Can be cold or at room temp. The water will prevent themfrom oxidizing due to exposure to the air (ie -turn black)- but since they will absorb a little water, you may have to cook them a few minutes longer to ensure they "dry".

I love taters! Fried, stewed, barbecued! I love taters!!!
Simple and easy, put them in water, cool is fine out of the tap, in a bowl. You need to add a little acid, so a little lemon juice or vinegar, cover. Put in the fridge till you need them!
I love taters.
Did I tell you how much I like taters?
Can I come for supper? Cause I like taters too!

Use anti-oxidants such as lemon juice, which are high in citric acid.
Remove the air from your potatoes. This is why vacuum-packed canned foods stay fresh so long.
Remove water from your potatoes (called "dehydration").

Soaking in cold water is good as everyone says. My mother-in-law puts a little salt in it--to get the starch out.
