Any moons that are quite small could be said to be potato shaped, since low mass bodies don't have a high enough gravity to 'pull' their own shape into a sphere. Any moon less than a few hundrend km in diameter will start to look potato shaped. Mars has two small potato shaped moons, while each of the four gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) have several of them.
