You can get true seed potatoes from the seed inside the berries.
Each seed will be a variation on its parent.
The seed will grow the plant and the plant will then grow the potatoes.
You then have your very own strain of the variety or if you cross pollinated the flowers you will have your own variety.
To produce minitubers you have to take a stem cutting from a virus free potato. More cuttings are made from this culture and then the micro plants are planted to produce nice new minitubers.
The minitubers are then planted in the fields to produce seed potatoes.
