Please could I ask where you got them from? I seem to have this urge to

'chit' seed potatoes before planting. This means placing them in a
clean box or tray - old egg trays are ideal - and keeping them in a
cool (8-10°C), light place, where they will produce strong sturdy
shoots to give an earlier crop. Tubers can stay safely in their trays
until planting conditions are right.
