Potatoes are planted by using cuttings from a real potato. You cut a potato in chunks making sure each chunk has an 'eye' in it. You plant these chunks and the eye's in each chunk sprouts a plant...which will produce potatoes.

Potatoes can reproduce sexually (i.e. by pollenating the flowers which turn into seeds) but then you introduce the genetic variation that comes with sexual reproduction. The prefered method is by vegetative reproduction, by taking part of a potato plant, specificly the eye of a tuber and planting that. "Seed potatoes" (while not really seeds per se, essentially act a such) are grown specificly for this purpose.

When a mommy potato and a daddy potato fall in love, they get together and (this part is censored for the general audience) ... this results in baby potatoes, ready to grow up and be like their spudly progenitors.
