Is this for real?? Is it that easy? I'd like to try that

Definitely happens.

Composting guides tell you not to compost raw potato peels because instead of a nutrient-rich compost pile you'll grow a bunch of potatoes and they'll get much of the good stuff from the pile.

That said, I suppose it would be an easy way to grow potatoes.

It works for me. Into a resting (no longer hot) compost I just bury some cut fingerlings and wait a bit.
