That sounds like a cognate of the (American) English usage āpotato, potatoā (but pronounced poh-TAY-toe, poh-TAH-toe) to indicate the lack of distinction between two items that have been presented as different.
It's more likely cognate with the word "patter", or at the very least, a parallel development from the same underlying onomatopoeia. Nothing to do with spuds.
The emphasis is on the last syllable of each, "e-pata-TI, e-pata-TA".
