Default Potatoes, harvesting?

A neighbour was admiring my early potatoes today and we were discussing when
to crop them, I said I would just dig down to see what was there, he made a

Should one wait until the tops die, before trying to recover the crop?


We don't Alan, we have been eating our earlies and they are lovely.
