Only if you are 100% sure they are disease free Breezy. And I'm afraid from 1 generation it is virtually impossible to tell. Any disease they may have may not show for several generations.

If you are certain, or want to risk it, then treat them just as you would normal seed pots. Chit them if you want but modern research is indicating that chitting makes no difference. But if you got a fab crop this year then just do the same again.
