Default Can I plant potatoes now?

In the southernmost part of NC. Zone 8a I believe. I'd like to get my potatoes in the ground as soon as possible so maybe at least the new potatoes can be harvested before I plant next season's warm stuff.
I have seen where people plant in the fall in colder climates but I'm wondering if this would work here. I have an unlimited amount of good mulch,just need to know about how much mulch would be the right amount to protect baby seedlings if it is warm enough to start growing.
I think my produce stand right down the road plants the first of Feb,which is two months before last frost date.
Any thoughts?
