Potatoes are usually grown from seed potatoes which are neatly cut from a potato to have one to two "eyes" which are the buds.
The reason why potatoes do not follow the regular convention of flowers and seeds is because they are underground shoots i.e their roots store starch to form tubers and from these starch deposits,new shoots grow.
