If you want to plant potatoes, you would not want "seed" you would want seed potatoes. If you look at a potato , you will see what are called eyes, which are actually sprouts. Cut the potato into 1/4 sections, having several eyes on each section. Plant this and with ample moisture, it will sprout. Plant approx. 3" deep. If you leave one in the bag, too long, it can also sprout, but will not make potatoes. potatoes are a tuber, and new potatoes will form on the root system in the ground. ( nodules)
while it produces seeds they are not used for propagating it so the answer depends on the context of the question
