Hello, Everybody:

To actually grow potatoes, we chop potatoes into chunks making sure
that each has at least one sprout "eye" and use these chunks as seeds.

However, I noticed that the potato plants above the ground blossom and
then bear small fruits about the size of cherry tomatoes, and these
fruits have small seeds in them.

What if we plant these seeds into the soil? Will they grow into
potatoes?

By the way, are these fruits edible?

Thanks for reading and replying.

"The potato fruit are of no value to the gardener. Potato fruit, as
well as the plant itself, contain relatively large amounts of solanine.
Solanine is a poisonous alkaloid. The small fruit should not be eaten.
Since potatoes don't come true from seed, no effort should be made to
save the seed."
