Yes, there ARE "potato seeds." True potato seeds (TPS) are kind of difficult to find and are challenging-but rewarding- to grow.
Potatoes bloom, and if the conditions are JUST right (and you're very lucky) the bloom will become a berry with tiny seeds inside.
If they don't make seeds, you can still grow new plants by planting the resulting tubers from your TPS plant. Each plant grown from TPS is a unique, new cultivar!
Don't be surprised if the tubers from your TPS plant stay pretty small. Plants from seed potatoes tend to be larger.
I buy my TPS from a (US domestic) Ebay shop. They're sweet folks. The seeds are a bit pricey- about $7 per pack - but I think they're worth it.
