Can whole potatoes be added to a compost heap or do they have to be
chopped
up? Can they be added at all?

Thanks.

They'll sprout, and then die, and break down that way.

No matter how small you chop them if there's a dormant
sprout attached to any bit of tuber it'll sprout.
All spuds are around 80% water in any case and so
are a good way of adding moisture to the compost
heap. More slow-release if not chopped up.
