Mar's moons are too small to have been molten long enough and have a gravitational pull that would round them out. alternately thy may have been shattered out from another larger body and picked up after banging around with the aseroids long enough to round them down a bit.

Which planet has potato shaped moons?

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.
