When a potato is beginning to grow eyes appear on the skin, if planted it is the eyes that grow.


If you can divide the potato with eyes on both pieces then yes you will get a plant from each piece.


But don't divide them too small, in the early days of growth the plant 'feeds' on the food stored in the potato.

What are the little round fruits that the flowers from the potato plants grow into and are they used for anything?

Those little "fruits" on the potato plant are exactly that - they are the fruit of the plant and, like all fruits, contain the seeds to grow new plants.The potato plant is from the same family as the tomato, Solanaceae, so those little fruits are the equivalent of the etable tomato that grows on the tomato plant. The potato fruit, however, is poisonous, as are all the above-ground parts of the potato plant, so do not attempt to eat them.You can grow potato plants from the seeds but it is a bit of a waste of time since the plant grows easily from the "eyes" of the potato tuber itself, either whole or cut up, provided there is at least one eye on each piece that you plant.

When do potato plants flower and how many potatoes does a whole potato produce?

Yes, potato plants do produce a flower. It's one of the signs the gardener looks for in order to determine when the potato harvest can begin; most home gardeners who grow potatoes look for those first tiny, delicious potatoes to be ready!There are many web sources about gardening that provide information regarding the process of growing potatoes. I've noted one in this thread. The potato flower is mentioned near the end of the article. Not only does it provide a sign that potatoes are growing under the plant; the flower also produces seeds. Remember your elementary school science - seeds are one of the ways a plant reproduces!Yes. They produce flowers, which can be a variety of colors, such as white, purple, and blue. If fertilized, they will produce small tomato-like fruits. These fruits are toxic, though, and should not be eaten.
