Just beat me to it KT
My response was - Simple answer - don't!
Chit them, sit each potato in something like an egg box (or whatever you have handy). Put them somewhere coolish, but not where they might catch the frost, and where it is nice and light but not in direct sunlight. Have a look at each spud, and see where the most eyes are, put the spud with this end up and the eyes will grow into dark green or purpley shoots. Left long enough they even develop little leaves. I'm not sure I agree with KT about minimal light, I have mine in the spare bedroom in full daylight but out of direct sunlight.
Don't worry if you have to plant them before they really develop big shoots, some people don' think chitting is necessary at all, but do make sure you don't put them in the dark somewhere or they will develop long straggly white shoots which are not what you want.
