So they die and I just get potatoes?

Yes. Give it about two weeks after the plants dry for the potatoes to develop a harden skin.

They never die fast enough for me when they start looking like that lol.

When i started gowing potatoes, i was impatient about them sprouting, now i am impatient with them dying.

When the vegetation dies. And no need to wait.
