It is more economical to buy a large (5 or 10 pound) bag of potatoes, but with just two of us in the house they would go bad before we used them up.
Now we store them in a cardboard box with paper between the layers of potatoes, and we keep the box in our basement (not on the floor, which is a little damp, but on a shelving unit).
They keep for 2 months or more - they might sprout a few "eyes" but just pull them off before cooking (actually, I think you can use those in the spring to plant your own potato plants - I seem to remember doing this with my Mom but it's a little fuzzy....).
