Can you store potatoes with onions?
Online Answer
Be careful about the neighbors: Just like garlic, you'll want to keep the onions in a ventilated space. In fact, it's perfectly fine to store the two alongside each other, says Davison. What you don't want is to have your potatoes and onions in close proximity, as gases from the onions can hasten sprouting in potatoes.

While the fridge isn't ideal for storing onions, it will extend the shelf life of whole, raw onions beyond a week at room temperature. Onions absorb moisture very easily however, so their texture may get somewhat soft in the fridge. Whole, raw onions can last in the fridge for up to two weeks.
