Potatoes and tomatoes are both in the nightshade family.
They are both heavy feeders and the same nutrients. If you plant them both close to each other, they will fight for those same nutrients.
Potatoes and tomatoes are both susceptible to the same disease of blight as well.
Potatoes like a slightly more acidic soil and some pine needles do them well.
Both are high calcium feeders.
Adding water from your boiled edges will help them greatly.
As well as potassium from banana peels.
During crop rotation I would separate these two plants by at least a row apart. Planting chives, carrots, basil, borage, thyme, marigolds, nasturtium and parsley with the nightshade family helps, to deter unwanted pests and attract useful ones.
Peppers also plant well with tomatoes
Hope this helps!
