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.
