As a general rule you shouldn't replant potatoes which you've grown yourself, because of the risk of introducing diseases and viruses.

However, if you do wish to reuse your first earlies, you will have to wait 60 days between harvest and replanting, and I advise you to plant them in pots and not the ground - they are not frost hardy and winter weather pre-December is likely to finish them off.

If you did a search for previous threads where others have done as you are proposing, you'll find almost universal disappointment with the eventual outcome.  Nobody tries it twice!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
