Here are some tips for choosing potatoes:

Look for potatoes that are fresh and have a smooth skin. Fresh potatoes should have a smooth, shiny skin. If the skin is wrinkled or stained, the potato may be old or rotten.
Avoid potatoes that are damaged or bruised. Damaged or bruised potatoes may be rotten or contaminated.
Choose potatoes of the same size. Potatoes of the same size will cook evenly.
Choose potatoes of the right variety. There are many different types of potatoes, each with its own flavor and texture. Choose the type of potato that best suits the recipe you are going to prepare.

Some tips for preserving potatoes:

Store potatoes in a cool, dry place. Potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, but it is best to store them in a cool, dry place. An ideal place to store potatoes is in a wooden or cardboard box, in a pantry or in a basement.
Avoid storing potatoes in the light. Light can cause potatoes to turn green, which can make them taste bitter.
Avoid storing potatoes near fruits or vegetables that produce ethylene, such as apples or bananas. Ethylene can speed up the aging process of potatoes.
Check the potatoes regularly and remove any damaged or rotten potatoes. Damaged or rotten potatoes can contaminate other potatoes.

If you follow these tips, you can keep potatoes for several weeks.
