somewhere cool and light is ideal

Assuming you are talking about seed potatoes rather than eating potatoes there's a very recent thread here:

In the trays that hold 30 eggs. They are ideal, store somewhere light but not sunny and cool. Cheers, Tony.

Since they've broken dormancy, i would say its best to start chitting

It may be a bit late for you but I've found keeping them in a (spare) fridge is the ideal way to store them until you're ready to start chitting. A couple more weeks for me yet. then a frost free north facing porch for chitting.

Will they be ready to plant too early by chitting them now .

No, given correct light & temperature, they'll sit there for months. Mine have been under way for a couple of weeks now.

They will hold if you pop them in the bottom of the fridge even if they have started to chit.

If you want to chit them now make sure they are in a cool but frost free area with very good light to prevent the chits from becoming too leggy.

If they have leggy chits you can remove these and let them start again so that you get short, deep coloured shoots produced.
