Yes, potato plants do produce a flower. It's one of the signs the gardener looks for in order to determine when the potato harvest can begin; most home gardeners who grow potatoes look for those first tiny, delicious potatoes to be ready!
There are many web sources about gardening that provide information regarding the process of growing potatoes. I've noted one in this thread. The potato flower is mentioned near the end of the article. Not only does it provide a sign that potatoes are growing under the plant; the flower also produces seeds. Remember your elementary school science - seeds are one of the ways a plant reproduces!
Yes. They produce flowers, which can be a variety of colors, such as white, purple, and blue. If fertilized, they will produce small tomato-like fruits. These fruits are toxic, though, and should not be eaten.
