My potatoes have been attacked by frost on the allotment. There is some green left on the tops. Will they survive?

I got caught a couple of years ago with my spuds, they were I thought completely lost. Within a few days green shoots started to appear and I covered them every night until the frosts had passed.

Good luck
Yes, they should survive
I'm optimistic! Keep em earthed up.
They'll survive but yields will be down depending on how much foliage got frosted. My neighbour on my allotment site lost all his beans to frost the other night. I did make subtle hints about planting them out too early
