I wouldn't have thought there was anything significant in using the parent rather than any of the "offspring". I can see that a large parent might grow more quickly into a larger plant than one of the tiny potatoes, but I cannot see there'd be any difference between using a parent or a similar sized offspring. They're all part of the same plant.
