How long can you leave them in the ground?

I harvest my potatoes from under a heavy mulch into December or January
(if it hasn't been too cold or snowy). Essentially, they stay there until they get
used up or locked away by frozen straw mulch. The biggest risk is damage from
voles. Otherwise, they stay crisp and perfect. I've even occasionally pulled
some still good potatoes in the spring.
