Last Saturday, myself and some volunteers were wondering whether or not to pick potatoes flowers off the plant. It was suggested that by picking the flowers you can avoid diverting energy from the tubers. I have done some reading and it actually doesn't affect the growth of the potatoes. It actually indicates that new potatoes are growing and you can try to find them near the outer areas. Or you can be like Marie Antoinette and wear the potato flowers in your hat!
