My allotment neighbour dug up some of his potatoes and they had small white spots all over them. He checked on google and said they were enlarged pores due to the wet earth.
best wishes

Can't see your pic Nosferato, but the raised white spots you describe on the potatoes are due to overwatering - all the rain. They are harmless and I don't think they affect the quality of the potatoes.
