Do potatoes have catalase?

Yes they do. Catalase in general seems to protect organisms, including potato cells, from the effects of hydrogen peroxide. In plants, catalase is primarily located in peroxisomes, cell organelles which are like lysosomes, but break down simpler molecules. Catalase is involved in decomposition of hydrogen peroxide generated during cellular processes such as photorespiration and oxidation of fatty acids. Hope this helps :)
