My recipe says to dice them, but my hand is getting sore drawing all the dots.

This is where precise language is important! The recipe should have specified 5 cubic potatoes, to distinguish them from the 1-dimensional kind
8 days5 cubed as in 5 to the power of 3
The response is clever because to reverse it you say you’re looking for the cube root of 125
Yeah but normally root alone refers to the square root, so you’d still end up with just over 11 potatoes

Interestingly, the page says regular potatoes are stem tubers, differentiating them from and acknowledging the existence of root tubers, which includes sweet potatoes.
