Default Frost damaged potatoes!

Just popped over to the allotment to plant some beans (I figure by the time
they come up the frost will be over!) and the state of the poor potatoes!
Every single one looks dead! :-(
I'm guessing they will come back, especially given how early it is still,
but even so ... Poor things.
How will it affect their taste? Am I remembering rightly that they are
sweeter when they have been frosted, or is that only after they have been
picked and stored?

At least I didn't have 2' tall bean plants that have been masacred, like a
few other people seem to have done ...!
