The tomato-like clusters are fruits formed from pollinated flowers, that bear potato seeds. The fruits aren't edible and the seeds will not grow true to type, so there's no reason to save them. Luther Burbank's famous russet potato variety grew from seed he saved, but there's little chance of duplicating his good fortune. Yukon Gold bears fruit more often than most potato varieties.
