Pfa will chit, but not for a while yet! Late March/Mid April depending on the temp... ;D
Rubbing out eyes/sprouts reduces the number of stems that will be produced, as the tubers are fattened roots that come from the shoots, the fewer the shoots the fewer the tubers (they should compensate in terms of overall yield by producing fewer but large tubers).If you want lots of small new potatoes then rubbing off is not the thing to do - conversely if you want baking sized spuds, it may be the thing to do if there are lots of sprouts.
