Tatoes advice

I need advice from the potato experts, I grew my first ones (Laura, second early) this year, and I know nothing.

The plants were fine no blight at all, green and healthy to the last day (today) I have done a bit of careful digging and found nice sized tatoes so I pulled the tops (with some regrets, they made a lovely green sight). Now some potatoes are still underground some are on top. Everyone says to leave them in the ground for a few days, but the light makes them green and nasty... so do I bury them all again? Do I leave them on top, and the few days of sun don´t make a difference? Help!

 

Jee, thanks, I am rushing out to pick them all up, my little darlings. May be I misunderstood the "leave in the ground" part, there is so much info on the net that one just go ping after a while. Thanks a alot.

 

Too late

No, I knew that, but our potato patch was tiny and a bit shady this year. I had planted exactly 13 seed potatoes, and I pulled out three full buckets, not too shabby! I think they will be eaten soon. Next year I will have a larger patch, and in the sun, so I will definitely stagger the crops. Thanks again!
