Processing, packaging, and shipping problems mainly.
Also, slight decrease in American production for past couple years, combined with higher cook-at-home demand.
China and India, not surprisingly, are biggest producers.

Lots of reasons, but a big one is monoculture industrial agriculture which is over reliant on a handful of high yield varieties which respond well to chemical fertilizers like potash, which is in short supply and nitrogen, which requires natural gas to manufacture.
Guess who is throttling efficient production of both?

“Why is there a potato shortage.”
It’s the Brits. They’re at it again.
