If they are 'earlies', wait until they have flowered and the foliage begins to wither and die down. After this the tubers won't get any bigger anyway.
If they are 'lates', I would leave them until much later while the foliage is green and healthy. With lates the tubers tend to bulk up much later in the summer.
