I don't think a true plant of that sort exists.
According to this, It is called a topato and it is a marketing scam:

Q: What is a "Topato" which is advertised in gardening publications?
A: The Topato is a patented name used by a company to describe a plant which supposedly produces tomatoes above ground and potatoes beneath the ground. If a Topato is ordered, you will receive several potato seed pieces, a few tomato seed and usually a razor blade with instructions as to how the Topato should be planted. This generally consists of hollowing out the potato seed piece, placing several tomato seed in the hollowed out area and planting the result in your garden. If it germinates and grows, the result is both a tomato and a potato plant above and beneath the ground. It will not be a cross, one plant with the ability to produce tomatoes and potatoes, but will be two individual plants producing normally.


I guess you could try this at home without ordering, if you were really curious.

Definately pomato. A totato definately does not sound like something you should be putting in your mouth!
