I wonder if a potato could provide enough power to power a red dot or similar sight

Probably not directly, but if you ran it to a joulegthief style boost converter you could probably charge a super-cap or even a small battery, and use that to run the dot for long enough.

Depends on the number of potatoes I'm sure.
