lays is not correct. However lay could be correct as lay (as well as having the meaning ascribed above) is the past tense of lie. So one may say, looking back, I did not realise where my greatest potential lay (at that time).

"lies". Lay means to "place or put" except when used as the past tense of lie. My mom is retired Rutgers English Professor and this answer was just confirmed by her.

'lie' is the verb when there is no object, so 'Where my greatest potential lies'.
'lay' takes an object 'She lay the baby on the bed' baby = object here.

Lies. Something or something lies itself, and lays something else.
