€9.95
The Rooster Potato is a maincrop variety renowned for its excellent all-round qualities, combining great taste with high yields. Its full, buttery texture and distinctive nutty flavor make it a standout choice for roasting or chipping, and its smooth skin makes peeling a breeze. Rooster Potatoes are versatile in the kitchen, suitable for baking, boiling, mashing, and roasting.
To grow Rooster Potatoes, plant the seed potatoes in rich, well-drained soil in a sunny location. Prepare the ground by working in plenty of organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure. Plant the seed potatoes 15 cm (6 inches) deep and 30 cm (12 inches) apart, with rows spaced 60 cm (24 inches) apart. As the plants grow, regularly earth up the soil around the stems to prevent the tubers from being exposed to light, which can cause greening. Water consistently, particularly during dry periods, to encourage even growth and high yields.
Rooster Potatoes are ready to harvest about 20–22 weeks after planting, typically in late summer to early autumn, once the foliage has withered and turned yellow. Lift the potatoes carefully with a fork to avoid bruising or cutting the tubers. After harvesting, allow the potatoes to dry in a cool, shaded area for a few hours before storing them in a dark, dry, and well-ventilated space. The Rooster Potato’s high yields and exceptional taste make it a favorite for both gardeners and cooks alike.
