Are you saying that 99% of the total weight is water? As in 99% of each potato is water, or that you have a system containing 100 pounds of potatoes making up 1 weight percent with an additional 9,900 pounds of water?
If it's case 1 the answer is 50 pounds.
If it's case 1 the answer is 50 pounds.

x= wt of water
1= wt of potato
x/(x+1) = 0.98
x = .98 / 0.02
x = 49
x + 1 = 50 = wt of water + potato
