No, I had not heard of it before.
The Potato River in Wisconsin is a primary tributary of the Bad River. I could not find other information on it, including origin of the name. You might contact a historical society in the area, often they can give you this kind of information.

Here are some links to the Potato River Falls, which look very lovely! i think I will put it on my list to visit!

Interestingly, there is also a potato creek, in Pennsylvania.

No, I haven't.
Maybe it is named that because of it's location. Does it run through Idaho?
