Morphology
The sense 'a person who pursues or is fond of potatoes' is directly derivable from combining 'potato' (the object) and 'chaser' (one who chases/pursues). This follows a regular compositional pattern (X-chaser = someone who seeks X), so a B1 learner knowing both constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Potato chaser may come from the simple image of a person running after tasty potato dishes, because potato names the food and chaser is someone who 'chases' or looks for them. So a potato chaser is a person who loves potatoes and looks for new potato dishes.
