Default Fake potatoes? ? ?

sounds like potato vine to me.........solanum jasiminoides, OR it could be
the wild potato vine, Ipomoea pandurata, large tuberous root, trailing or
twining, leaves broadly cordate-ovate or fiddle shaped to 6 inches across
Conneticut to Florida....madgardener

We have a vine that looks exactly like a potato vine, and it produces what
looks exactly like redskin potatoes.

Beautiful.

There's just one problem -- you need a saw to cut them. They're almost the
consistency of solid wood.

What are these things (potatoes, obviously, but what kind) and what good

are
they?
