There are two corner conditions to worry about, not one:
A: You play a goal that you fulfil, causing the potato to rotate to you.
(Do you win before the potato lands?)
B: There is a goal in play which you fulfil, but you also have the
potato. You play a new goal, causing the potato to rotate *away* from
you.
(Do you win right after the potato leaves, before the goal changes?)
And there are three possible answers:
1: The potato moves right after the goal changes. (A: yes. B: no.)
2: The potato moves right *before* the goal changes. (A: no. B: yes.)
3: It's simultaneous. (A: no. B: no.)
The one game I've played with potato in the deck, we ruled
"simultaneous". Mostly because it's easier -- you don't have to reason
about momentary states.

Actually, there is another corner condition:
C: A goal is played which two adjacent players both fulfill, and the
potato is passed from one to the other.
Examples:
Both players have five Keepers.
Both have the same number of cards, and more than 10.
One player has the Brain and the other has Andy Looney. (Brain: No TV goal)
There are also some possibilities with Double Agenda.
I think I like the 'simultaneous' argument, in which case the player who
ends up without the potato wins.
