    I'm no expert, but maybe they just need a bit of light and warmth?

    they do not need to sprout (chit) to grow new spuds. they will go soft eventually when they go in the soil and rot away.
    tbh i would plant them now. you would be lucky to get seed spuds now, most places will have stopped selling them now as they need to be planted over the next couple of weeks anyway.
