A potato plant has leaves above ground that 'catches' sunlight and photosynthesises. The energy is shared with the rest of the plant including the roots where the potatoes are formed.

How does a potato get the energy that it needs to grow?

You could eat it. The calories in it are a measure of the energy it stores for nutrition. You could, perhaps, dry it and then burn it for heat. Bit of a waste of a good potato if you ask me. You could stick a length of copper and a length of zinc into it and use it to provide electrical energy. It's not as good as lemons, but it still works. It occurs to me that if you throw the potato, it will have kinetic energy but the energy has been put into the potato by your arm, so that probably doesn't count.
