Default New potatoes

Someone mentioned in a thread earlier last month (Feb) about planting a few
spuds under a polytunnel early.
I am wondering if I plant some now, in the NE, under a tunnel would it
really make any difference? Could I expect some new potatoes a bit earlier
than normal if left under the tunnel?


Not tried it before, but I've just noticed I've got a huge potato plant
growing in a bucket in my kitchen atm! I think it may get properly planted
then put in the greenhouse and see if we get any earlies!
