Black leaves on young potatoe crop

Just wondering if anyone can help us identify this problem. For the first time we planted seed potatoes in late March and all seemed to be well until this morning when I noticed some of the leaves had turned black !! It was very cold here last night so is it possible its frost damage ??

    Last night's frost.  Same here. :( They will grow new leaves and the crop will be delayed by a couple of weeks so not a great worry.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thats great news Bob thanks a lot !! Should we remove the damaged leaves or just leave it alone?
