  Malva sylvestris (Common mallow) I think.
  

  A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

  I agree.  Leave it if you like it, take it out if you don't want it taking a share of the resources meant for your spuds.  The white flowers belong to the potatoes and are best removed.  You want the plants putting their energy into the bits you're going to eat, not making flowers and seeds.  Unless, of course, you're trying to develop a new variety.
