Default Potatoes question

What is the latest time in the year to plant potatoes ?
I have some that are sprouting and no good for eating
and rather that throw them out I would like to plant them
and hopefully get a small return.
Am I too far into the year to do this?

You could plant them in pots/buckets and move them into a greenhouse/
conservatory if/when frost threatens.
Your big problem will be blight. Seems to be bad this year.
New potatoes for Christmas!
