potato blossom question

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I was telling my husband about all the potato growing posts and we got to
thinking about the blossom-fruit sequence.  For tomatoes, squash, beans it
has to bloom and get fertilized before it forms.  For root crops, radish,
carrot, beets, the edible part forms before it blooms - after bloom, too
late to eat!  Potatoes are a root crop.  What does the bloom have to do with
formation of the vegetable and what does it tell us about the quality of
what's underground?  Anybody know?  Not sure how to look that up.
