…For highest yields and best storage, potatoes should not be dug until two weeks after vines have naturally died down. This allows the skins to set and reduces skin peeling, bruising and rot in storage….

We planted a small patch, many years ago, just to show my city kids that they do not grow in bags at A&P.  Here’s a source for info I whish I had then. Our tennis ball sized potatoes did do what I wanted though.
I think they may come out of the ground as “grits” when you get below I-90, in which case you may need a strainer too.
