I planted a batch of Italian Red potatoes about two months ago that seem to be about ready to harvest (the above-ground part is dying off).

Two months from now (late September) is well-before expected first frost.

Can I harvest this batch, dry some for a few days, and replant for another crop this year?

Or do I need to do something else?

Or just plant spinach, which grows fast?

I have no idea. I might try it, since potatoes handle hold pretty well. I do lots of experimentation, though. ;)

I would try it !
Potatoes are fairly cold tolerant, although you might have to cover them in hard frost with a blanket, or with straw on really cold nights.
Go for the experiment !
and Play in your garden .. since it is sn experiment of what you can accomplish !
