As you mention Nathan this is an easy way to multiply tubers into far more plants.
One planted potato tuber may yield 2 pounds with multiple "eyes" emerging as one cluster but you can get 4-6 "pulls plants" from a single tuber and each yields 1 pound is about 6 pounds from just one tuber as seed. A great way to multiply plants and not have to save so many potatoes as seeds.
Another thing I noticed is that varieties that were grown from pull plants tend to be bigger in size but when I plant tubers it tend to send out 2-3 shoots I get smaller potatoes but more numerous.
