**Yes, kosher for Passover.**
Potatoes are a simple root vegetable with no leavening agents or kitniyot associations, making them permissible under standard Ashkenazi and Sephardi Passover rules (avoiding chametz). They must be checked for bugs and prepared in a kosher-for-Passover kitchen to maintain status, per Orthodox Union (OU) and Star-K guidelines.
