Yes, you are correct. Seed potatoes are selected from last years crop.
I was brought up on a farm where all potatoes were stored in a cool dark
cellar and covered with straw to protect them from the frost. During the
winter they would be sorted into 'eaters' and 'seed', the latter being
about the size of a hen's egg and free from disease. Try growing your
own seed and also some which you have purchased and compare the results.
Lots of information here about chitting potatoes:

Thanks Emrys

One problem may be saving some seed potatoes from the pot.
Not that many left so er indoors will be eager to get her hands on them.
