The fact that a potato has "eyes", but cannot see may have something to do with why it was chosen for the saying.

Probably the same meaning as «Estás tan ciego como un murciélago» in English.

Well, that is really strange, jeje, we often say:
Esto es una patata.
This is useless.
But to say that to a person, that is really weird, must be regional
