Default When to harvest early potatoes?

My earlies are flowering at the moment. I've no idea what varieties they
are- the ones that had "Nicola" on the bag have developed pink flowers and
according to the web they should be white. The others have white flowers,
but I'm really not sure what they are. I appreciate this isn't very helpful.

Anyway, they all came from "new" potatoes so I at least presume they are all
meant to be earlies. But I'm sort of dithering about when to harvest them.
Should I take the plunge and dig up a plant now? Thing is, the mystery
pinks, there are only six plants, so I don't want to waste any.

Any advice gratefully appreciated.
