Is it okay to cook & eat a potato that’s been kept in the fridge for 2 days?

Question

My kids usually put up groceries, & The first time ever put my potatoes in the fridge, I didn’t realize until just now as I’m about to cook.. they’ve been in there about 2 days.. safe to eat or no? I’ve always heard it’s never okay. Help please. 😭

Answer

As a farmer: we store potatoes in a 100% humidity room that is 34 degrees for up to 10 months.  The fridge is a lower humidity so they would dry out after 1-2 months in there, so a few days is totally fine.

Answer

I have always kept mine in the fridge. I have three different varieties in there now. My family is just fine:)

Answer

Pressed the wrong one 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’m pretty sure it’s okay. Have a look on Google

Answer

My grandparents always keep their potatoes in the fridge 🤷

Answer

It's safe but it may affect the taste. They can get gritty and very sweet and brown too quickly.
