Potatoes are not usually described as weeds but they can be weedy, particularly where potato tubers are discarded. And the leaves of the potato are poisonous.
Potato plants are herbaceous perennials that grow about 60 cm high, depending on variety. The leaves die back after flowering, fruiting and tuber formation. The tubers are the common potato used in cooking.
