I don't think it is an insect problem. Rather a watering and/or fertility issue. What is your watering schedule and what fertilizer used?

Probably a watering issue. Potatoes need 1 to 2 inches per week depending on the stage they are in. Young shoots need less but maturing plants need more to help grow tubers. So, I would water less frequent for now but do deep watering. Increase frequency in another month.
