They're sitting in a 5-gallon bucket in an unheated garage. Here, at this time of year, it means they're all frozen. I mean, really frozen. When I bring some in to wash them I get a glaze of ice on the exterior when the water hits them!
There's some degradation in texture -- that is, as I scrub them some of the peel comes loose as that layer thaws -- and there may be some loss of flavor by now, but it's an interesting experiment. They're certainly edible.
Incidentally, these are russets. I've no idea whether more waxy potatoes would behave the same way.
Edited to add: I've just rediscovered a topic on potato storage, here. I wish I'd thought of it last October!
