Answer 1

Hmm.. aside from the usual mashing, baking, frying, boiling, broiling, steaming and grilling I can come up with several other uses...
Potatoes are great for calming down a dish you've overseasoned. They absorb the salt and your meal will taste better.
They also make a great filler food when money's tight.
A raw potato is good for getting a broken light bulb out of it's socket without cutting your hand.
You can carve a design into a cut potato and use it as a stamp.
You can shoot them with a potato gun.

Answer 2

The Incas had many uses for potatoes. Raw slices were placed on broken bones to promote healing, carried to prevent rheumatism and eaten with other foods to prevent indigestion. The Incas also used potatoes to measure time - correlating units of time by how long it took a potato to cook. During the Alaskan Klondike gold rush, potatoes were practically worth their weight in gold. Potatoes were so valued for their vitamin C, miners traded their gold for potatoes.

On the South Atlantic island of Tristan da Cunha, potatoes were once used as the country's unofficial currency.

The tubers are a source of starch that is used in sizing cotton and to make industrial alcohol etc[100, 142]. It also has many other uses in industry[171]. Ripe potato juice is an excellent cleaner of silks, cottons and woollens[4]. The water in which potatoes have been boiled can be used to clean silver and to restore a shine to furniture[7]. Emollient and cleansing face masks are made from potatoes, these are used to treat hard, greasy and wrinkled skins[7]. The potato is a good source of biomass. When boiled with weak sulphuric acid, potato starch is changed into glucose and this can then be fermented into alcohol[4].
