A friend just stopped by and his answer was, "go to the farmer's market and
buy some new potatoes that someone else has picked.  Save yours for
winter."  Now I wonder why the heck I didn't think of that one?

Yeah, but isn't the fun of gardening being able to eat your' own stuff ...
Seriously, I know I must be missing something in this thread but couldn't
you just dig all the potatoes out of one hill and not worry about saving the
plant and then from the marble size to golf ball size just throw all of them
in the pan with the peas and new carrots?  When Fall comes maybe you would
still have plenty of untouched hills to dig up as mature potatoes.  For the
many years we had a garden that's the way we did it but maybe that wasn't
the most efficient way to do it.
