You can force all potato plants to produce flowers but it is only worth doing if you are a breeder after the seed pods.  The early earlies produce their tubours and die off before they produce flowers if you let them.  To get flowers, you have to remove the potatoes without killing the plant.  The plant will then go onto flower.
