Do I Have to Use a Metal Bowl In The Fridge to Store My Baked Potatoes?

Once my baked potatoes are cooled can I put them in my fridge on an open plastic bag or must I use a metal bowl?

No need for a specific-material bowl (such as metal). I suggest storing cooled, whole baked potatoes in any clean tray, bowl, or other shallow container and loosely cover (to minimize dehydration while preventing condensation) and use within two days.

The Idaho Potato Commission

Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous "Grown in Idaho®" seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho's ideal growing conditions, including rich, volcanic soil, climate and irrigation differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states.
