For me the potato meme started with Portal 2, at least internet wise.
But over here in Argentina we already used the word "papa" (potato in spanish) to refer to shitty / outdated electronics or alternatively to say that something is really easy.

It is an important food staple and the number one vegetable crop in the world. Potatoes are available year-round as they are harvested somewhere every month of the year. And they are one of the most nutritive vegetables available and spread world wide.

Sadly the potato joke was made before I joined. I don't need to know the origin though, because potatos are f--king delicious and deserving of the spotlight :p

Potato is simply potato. We can not understand the potato, but we admire it as one of the memes of steamgifts.

POTATO has many meanings. One is the general catch-all joke answer, that many around here use. Another is a person who is in a vegetated state, incapable of doing anything (also known as a vegetable). The one I enjoy most, however, is how I refer to my cell phone: a potato is something that barely functions as it is supposed to, performing only the barebones essentials while not doing many special things, optionally malfunctioning frequently. Also it is a food, but almost nobody uses it for that definition. Oh, and some do this strange cult thing worshipping potatoes. The world we live on is an odd place, sometimes

Aside from the common definitions, like being a food or being in a coma-like state, it is commonly used to describe something that is low quality, i.e. a potato computer, meaning a terrible (poor specs, etc.) computer.
On this site, people love to use it just as a meme with really no meaning aside from the fact that it itself is a meme.

True meaning of potato? I thought it was just a stupid phrase that was circulating about

I am pretty sure that they just vote "potato" because they can't really choose a side on polls and stuff like that
so they just say potato because:
a - Neutral answer, and it sorta guarantees neither a whitelist or black list
b - They resort to the old meme of "potato" being a synonym of "derp" of something like that

During my year of observing the habitants of SG potato is still unanswered but i am pretty near to the real and only answer.
(btw my english is terrible too)

As far as I understand, there's no special meaning behind it: it's but one of the many aspects of the multifaceted shitposting culture.

I was only 9 years old.
I loved potatoes so much, I had all the merchandise and movies.
I pray to the Potato God every night, thanking him for the life I’ve been given. “Potato is love” I say, “Potato is life."
My dad hears me and calls me weird. I knew he was just jealous of my devotion to the Potato God.
I called him a worshipper of a false God.
He hits me and sends me to sleep.
I'm crying now and my face hurts.
I lay in bed, really cold. I feel something warm...
It's Potato God! I was so happy.
He whispers in my ear "This is my farm."
He grabs me with his gentle potato hands, and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready.
I open my hands for Potato God.
He penetrates my soul.
It hurts so much, but I do it for Potato God. I can feel my chest tearing and eyes watering.
I want to please Potato God.
He roars a mighty roar as he fills my soul with his love.
My dad walks in.
Potato God looks him straight in the eye and says,
"It's all Potato now."
Potato God leaves through my window.
Potato is love. Potato is life.
