In the 1960s, when I was a mountain-top farmer in West Virginia, We planted potatoes in one field one year. Although we never planted again, volunteer potatoes showed up for the next four years (maybe longer - I moved away then).
This does not answer the question, but it may help in a trivia contest someday.

Clearly, "wild potatotes" are within your geographic area:

Although that seems a far-fetched to me ...
