If all the foliage has been snapped off they won't develop any more, so you may as well dig them up. Having said that, you may well have a good crop down there. Have a dig and see what you've got.

Don't go by flowering. Some earlies don't (well, they would if you left them but they are ready as new potatoes before that!)
