FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
How long do potatoes last?
SOURCE USDA FOODKEEPER · DATASET V128
Potatoes keep about 1–2 months in the pantry, 1–2 weeks in the refrigerator and 10–12 months in the freezer at best quality, per USDA FoodKeeper guidance.
| Where | How long | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pantry | 1–2 months | From date of purchase. |
| Refrigerator | 1–2 weeks | From date of purchase. |
| Freezer | 10–12 months | Freezer timeline applies to cooked and mashed potatoes. |
* Best quality. Food kept frozen at 0 °F stays safe beyond this window; flavor and texture decline.
