I had a volunteer potato in my garden this year so I just let it do its thing (Completely overshadowing all of my corn but oh well). It flowered and now suddenly there are... berries??? I've literally never seen these before, what are these?

Usually yes, but that's not very efficient. Seed-grown potatoes are very fragile and need special care. Having a bulb as a fallback for nutrients is what gives potato resilience. They grow a lot like tomatoes. Usually people only do that to get new breeds. Since, technically, planting a bulb is cloning. the-more-you-know
