Potatoes can be anything from diploid to hexaploid.

I am just looking at the tatermaterseeds catalogue of Tom Wagner. In particular the true potato seeds (not seed potato tubers). There are diploid potatoes, for example Baggins Dragon
http://tatermaterseeds.com/shop/inde...roducts_id=116
and Skagit Magic is diploid too
http://tatermaterseeds.com/shop/inde...roducts_id=236
and others that are tetraploid like Denali Rose

Tom Wagner speaks of 'tetraploid potatoes with diploid flavour'. Interesting!
