I wouldn't.....What you can do is carefully dug up every second one early so you get small potatoes. My wife prefers them that way.
Greetings, welcome to the Forums.
Even if the yield per initial 'seed' potato is reduced, the yield per area planted will likely be much the same.

LOL so do we. It is such a treat to "rob" the small potatoes as you go. I look forward to it every year and mine are getting close to being "robbable" now.
It could affect both the yield and the size of the harvested potatoes. Be on the lookout for blight, as this is more likely if there is less airflow around the haulms.
