Genome engineering has been re-shaping plant biotechnology and agriculture. Crop improvement using the recently developed gene editing techniques is now easier, faster, and more precise than ever. Although considered to be a global food security crop, potato has not benefitted enough from diverse collection of these techniques. Unique genetic features of cultivated potatoes such as tetrasomic inheritance, high genomic heterozygosity, and inbreeding depression hamper conventional breeding of this important crop. Therefore, genome editing provides an excellent arsenal of tools for trait improvement in potato. Moreover, using specific transformation protocols, it is possible to engineer transgene free commercial varieties. In this review we first describe the past achievements in potato genome editing and highlight some of the missing aspects of these efforts. Then, we discuss about technical challenges of genome editing in potato and present approaches to overcome these difficulties. Finally, we talk about genome editing applications that have not been explored in potato and point out some of the missing venues in literature.
