It wasn't my intention, but here it is. Still too frosty to plant outside but it's getting bigger every day.
This also isn't the best pot to have used for transplanting, I have a feeling this thing will be too big in a week.
Advice is welcome. No I won't eat this potato, because it's raw.
It looks like a vigorous potato, I hope you can find a place to put him outside
Also don't plant any of the seeds these flowers may make. They could be poisonous.
Potatoes (and tomatoes, and I think eggplants) are nightshades, and we grow them by sticking them in the ground because new offshoots are clones.
Keep it as a flower, though, its neat.
What are you talking about? Planting the seeds just produces true seed potatoes which wont look like the original potato since they are a product of hetero plant reproduction. 
I have a feeling this thing will be too big in a week.
The potatoe part isnt going to get bigger...
It's shriveling up and dying so it's using all its stored energy in a last dying grasp for survival...
You need to fully bury it, or chop off the bits where it grew sprouts and store it like a regular one till you plant it. Neither way is guaranteed, but they're both better chances than exposed like that.
I'm not a potatologist, but it seems like it should be fine to let it grow in there for a couple more weeks. It's happy there, and that's the main thing.
Then transplant it to a big bin/pot/raised bed or the ground outside. If it's root bound just cut down on the sides of the root tangle and detangle them a bit before planting. Put a big clear plastic tub/tote over it at night if it will be frosty.
If you want to get some actual potatoes from that you're gonna need a much bigger pot. Also you want the potato to be like... six inches underground.
just let it be
Potatoes form underground but they can also flower and make fruit. The fruit looks like a little tomato. My advice is to not eat the fruit; it is toxic.
Also, it needs a way bigger pot to make more potatoes.
I am curious what your intentions were for a potato that you planted that wasn't supposed to grow?
I ask because it might help formulate a plan if we can determine your intentions and expectations.
