Harvesting Potatoes For Storage. Harvesting potatoes used for winter storage should not be done until after the potato plants have flowered and the vines die off. Potatoes may be left in the ground to extract as much energy from the vines as possible as long as the soil does not freeze.
Mature potatoes are harvested in the fall or early winter depending on your plants and the weather. Wait until all the foliage of the plant has withered and died back before harvesting mature potatoes. After the foliage has died, dig up a potato from one or two plants and rub the skin of the potato with your fingers. The skin of a potato that is ready for harvest won't scrub off easily. If the skin of your test potatoes does come off easily, wait a few more days and test a couple more potatoes.
