Hi, Russ,
If your dog has always been fed a high quality commercial diet it is unlkely that there are any mineral or vitamin deficiencies.
It may be that at some time you have given him extra attention when he has been consuming his raw potato, and it has become an attention attracting device!
I suugest that for the time being you TOTALLY ingore him when he shows any inclination to find or eat a potato.
He will probably get fed up with it if it does get the result he seeks
