Best not to as it's caused by bacteria and would infect your crop this year. RHS gives some advice here https://apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/Profile.aspx?pid=230

(You seem to have asked this question on another post as well.. )

My answer.... NO.... why spread the diseases for a few quid you might save on proper seed spuds..
