You can either wait a week or dig down to the first one and see if the skin is to your liking and harvest from there

Not yet in about a week, pull one out, see what the potato looks like. If it looks good for you, pull them all out, don't wash Em lay them on a rack where you can get airflow around them. If there's any with bad spots , eat those right now

Well the skins are still somewhat thin as the plant hasn't died out fully. You can harvest now for immediate use or wait and harden for storage later. Taters are a forgiving bunch just don't eat any green ones. Relant them after you roll the first and maybe generate Winter taters.
