Cold potatoes

[blossom]

Hi all,

I am new to this and planting everything in pots this year. Weekend before last I planted on early early potatoe in a pot and put it in my little plastic greenhouse thing. At the weekend at least the top of the soil, maybe all the way through was frozen. I have dug up the potatoe today and it looks fine. Will the frost likely have killed it, and should it look different if it has?

Thanks

It would be rotten if the frost had got to it, the potato would be soft or black. It should be fine undercover.

Thanks very much, I will probably have another dig up of it at the weekend, just to check it hasn't gobe black by then. Thanks again.
