Because it is easier to propagate potatoes vegetatively (from tubers / seed potatoes).



Some commercial varieties do not produce seed - they produce imperfect flowers. Others produce small fruits after flowering that contain several hundred seeds. The flowers can be self or cross pollinated. If you grow new plants from the seeds you can't be sure that you will reproduce the same variety if cross pollination has occurred.
Reply:The roots are how potatoes propagate.
Reply:Potatoes themselves grow what are called "eyes". These are then cut off the potato, planted, and a new plant grows from it.



If you ever let a potato in a cool dark place, it sometimes will sprout. That's exactly how it works.
Reply:If you grow from the tuber, you get exactly the same plant that you started with. Seed propagation is always iffy.
Reply:The Eyes of the potato is how they propagate. Each eye off a seed potato makes a new plant. They are not a seed flowering plant but a root propagating plant.
