You dig them not less than 90 days after you plant them. Around here, we plant them June 1st & dig them after Labor Day.
Dig a hill or two & see what you have. If they are the right size, go for it. If not, leave them in the ground a few weeks longer.
Do NOT let frost kill the vines. If they are in the ground & a frost is coming, cut the vines. The potato won't store if frost hits the vine.
Dig the potatoes very carefully; they bruise easily. Lay them on the ground (I use a drying rack) & cover them w/ black roofing paper in full sun for at least 3 days. That will set the sugar in them.
Store them in a warm, dry place. Not the basement!
