I have 4 Yukon Gold potato plants that are producing fruit on the leaves. They look like small tomatoes, there are 4 or 5 to a cluster.

Any Ideas??

These are about as big as cherry tomatos.

My PC is still down, it has been a rough month, as soon as it is up and working again, I will upload some pictures.

OH YEAH! I MEANT TO SAY, DON'T EAT THE FRUIT!
Thank you, Dodge, aka barb!
Unless you'd like to see what you can grow from the seeds, I'm pretty sure the fruits should be picked...and destroyed. It may not make any real difference in the long run, but the energy would be better used in producing 'taters. I wish I had planted a few hundred feet of 'taters this year, I had one serving from my meager planting, of new potatoes. I put more time and space into it in years past.

Even my growlights are getting restless!

Potatoes may tomatoes...huh.

I wish I would not have planted potatoes this year, nor corn. Since I have planed my wife and I decided to do the atkins, so those veggies are out of our diet for now

I hate those dang rabbits

Thanks for the info, that was neat to learn.
Oh, I get it, the "tomato" comes after the white flower.
I've never grown potatoes, just have seen pictures.

Here are some pictures of the Potato plants:

Yes I have quite a few tomatoes on the vines.

I am going to dig under the potato plants and check for spuds. Somebody told me that hard soil will make potato plants grow fruit, so I am going to find out.

Update: I went out and dug under the plants and they are growing 'tators.
