Default Potato 'Fruit'

In article , Rick McGreal
writes
My potato plants have just finished flowering....
I removed the flowers from some and left them on others to see if it made
any real difference to the crops....

And now they have produced 'Fruit'
They are very much like a thick-skinned grape only much darker...
About an inch ling and a half-inch in diameter..And very firm

Are they worth keeping?

Can I use them as seeds for future plants?


I'm not sure whether the fruits fully ripen here. And I imagine it would
be a lot slower than even growing potatoes from peelings!

Could be fun as an experiment.
