    It's not late blight but could be early blight (aka Target spot).

    No. Relax, that's light spots, not darker ones.

      Our first time growing spuds and we now have this which looks like blight, there is mildew on the undersides of the leaves.
      Do we pull up and burn?

      Looks like blight to me - I saw this shortly after you posted it but waited for somebody else to be the bearer of bad news.

      Did you take any pics of the underside of the leaves?
