Eddee, are they the same variety as you've grown in other years? There are short season potatoes for such conditions. Maybe check on the type. Also, you may just be getting impatient??? How close is your first frosty night? Once the night temps fall and the length of days becomes less, i imagine they will flower. making flowers means they are making potatoes.
Did you happen to feed with a too high nitrogen fert? Nitrogen puts growth into the leaves at the expense of the flowers and tubers.

The secret is the soil.

Where I live the growing season is short and starts late. These plants have been growing for at least 2 months now. I would have expected them all to flower by now!
What gives???
