Frosted garden
Are you talking Irish potatos? We plant them here in February, March the latest. Are you sure it killed them or just burnt the leaves? I may be way off but unless they freeze think they will come out of it.

Ole Murf, had not thought about the heat given off by the fresh grass clippings. No doubt that would make the leaves more tender than normal.
Frank, I would call your potatoes Irish or at least not Sweet Potatoes. Now they don't stand up to frost.

Frank just as I hit submit thought of something about your mulch that here would be a problem...I would not use grass clippings here as it will end up attracting mice which will in turn attract snakes which will in turn cause you not to want to reach your hand into the mulch to dig some small fresh potatoes leaving the bush in place to produce. Here we keep plowing more dirt to the bushes to keep the potatoes buried good. You do know they grow above the part of potato you planted and must not have sun light on the potato itself.

Frank, I am not much of a boil Irish potato fan but if you will dig them (using hand is normally best) when smaller than golf ball they are good. Some people like them even smaller with garden peas and dumplings. Hungry yet? Don't forget a little fat back or bacon in there.
