Potatoes and tomatoes belong to the same family which is why your seed heads look like little tomatoes. Myself I wouldn't bother removing them - they are only poisonous if you eat them, like so many other things we grow in our gardens.

If you are curious, you could save the seeds, much as you would for tomatoes, plant them next spring, and grow your own variety of potatoes. There are endless variations among the seedlings, but only one in a thousand turns out to be a worthwhile crop.
