Why is Potato creek in Mckean county pa called Potato creek?
According to the history of Elk, Cameron and McKean Counties, in 1816 early settlers in McKean County took canoes to Pittsburgh for supplies. Upon their return, one of the canoes, loaded with potatoes, capsized in the water. The name was given to the creek by local Indians after witnessing the incident. Further details explain that in 1815, Mt. Tambora, a volcano in Indonesia erupted. It is estimated that 82,000 people died as a result of the explosion and its year-long after effects. Probably as a result of the worldwide ash clouds, people in the earth's northern hemisphere suffered devastating frosts and early snows in 1816 -- known in the Northeastern United States as the "year without a summer." Crops also failed on the meager pioneer farms in McKean County. Isaac Burlingame and his father in law, Timothy Wolcott (the spelling of the name had actually been changed from Walcott) travelled by canoe to Pittsburgh taking six weeks to make the journey. They returned with desperately needed food supplies. Oral history recounts how one of their canoes tipped spilling potatoes into the creek. The local Seneca Indians noted this event with the word that these settlers recalled as "nunundah." The Seneca word for 'potato' is 'ononoda' -- with a pronunciation quite close to the word 'nunundah'. The creek was subsequently named "Nunundah Creek" (today it is just called "Potato Creek"), and the yearbook at nearby Smethport High School is named "Nunundah."

A potato isn't a fruit. The part of the potato we eat is its edible tuber, which is classed as a vegetable.
A vegetable is the edible part of a plant that is not a fruit or seed, and although this is not a strict definition, it is safe to say a potato is a vegetable.
The potato produces stem tubers, a development of the normal stem. It's perhaps the only stem tuber that we eat. Root tubers are more common and include sweet potato and cassava. These tubers are distinct from bulbs and corms.
The potato plant produces a fruit, but this is not what we eat; itsfruit is poisonous, as are many parts of plants which, like potatoes, are members of the Solanaceae - nightshade - family: for example, only the fruit of the tomato, bell pepper or chili plant is edible. In the case of potatoes we eat the tuber rather than the fruit.

What way did Incans preserve potatoes?
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but i just found this article and thought I would pass it on. The Andean peoples have an ancient method of preserving potatoes for up to several years: First they lay the potatoes out on the ground over night to freeze them, and then in the morning, they trample the potatoes with their feet and leave them exposed to the intense warmth of the sun. This process (repeated three times) drives the moisture out of the potatoes, enabling them to be kept for longer before going rotten. It is a primitive method of freeze-drying.
