Potatoes do not like the environment in the soil that previous sod leaves behind. It doesn't have anything to do with what you may be adding to the soil, just the conditions in the soil that sod creates.

Potatoes, like most plants, benefit greatly from balanced soil. You achieve that by doing a comprehensive soil test, and then amending the soil by what the test tells you. For more comprehensive understanding, see if you can find a copy of The Intelligent Gardener by Steve Solomon.

Regarding compost tea or any more nitrogen adding things, I'd go easy on them. Nitrogen in excess weakens plants making them susceptible to pests and diseases.
