Potatoes don't need to be treated. So long as they are stored in a cool(40 degrees and not in the refrigerator), dark place with humidity of 90-95% they should be fine till the next planting season. On a side not do not store damaged potatoes because they will spoil the bunch and they store best in well ventilated crates with sand in the bottom. Before storing harvested potatoes will need to be cured for 2 weeks at a temperature of 50-60 degrees with a relative humidity of 85 - 90%. If storage temp get above 50 the potatoes will sprout after a few months. On a side not do not store potatoes with onions unless you want to lose the whole bunch.

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.
