The fruit is like a tomato (as., indeed, they are closely related).

At one time people were grafting cuttings from tomato plants onto the top of
potatoes to get two crops from the same planting.

I have no idea what this did to the yield of the potatoes - I would have
thought there would be a major conflict between storing up food in the roots
and getting as much food as possible into the fruits.

Anybody tried this?

Nope.. always been tempted but never tried.. Not uncommon though. May
increase/reduce vigour of one or the other species.. As with some trees
and can be done with Hops 'n Canabis I believe.
