A new neighbour gave me this.

If you dig your earlies and the parent potato is not rotten you can plant
them again.
I have done this and have good growth of foliage. Too early to look at the
roots but time will tell.

Any thoughts?

I don't know about the parent potato and whether or not it's rotten, but I
have had some success digging up the plant carefully, leaving attached the
potatoes too small to be of use, and replanting the plant for later. Up to
half as many again is my estimate.
