Rooster potatoes are truly exceptional. With their distinctive deep russet-red skins and unique shallow eyes, they not only stand out in appearance but also deliver an extraordinary culinary experience. Their full, buttery texture and distinctive nutty flavour make them the perfect choice for roasting or making crispy chips. What’s more, they are incredibly easy to peel.
These uniform, rounded gems also excel as jacket potatoes, and we offer special packs of large Rooster potatoes, ideal for baking.

They’ve been honoured with prestigious awards, including ‘Best Fruit or Vegetable Product’ at the Scottish Food and Drink Excellence Awards, multiple Great Taste Gold awards, and the coveted Saveur de L’Annee (Flavour of the Year) in France, the nation’s premier food accolade.
Explore the exceptional world of Rooster potatoes and elevate your culinary creations with their unmatched quality and flavour.
Planting
After purchase, carefully empty seed potato contents into shallow boxes or trays. Egg boxes or apple trays are ideal. Protect from frost and store in a cool area. Two weeks before you want to plant your potatoes, you should move them into a light area of about 10°C to produce a strong, thick sprout and make sure they are rose eye upwards. The potatoes will turn green when exposed to the light, but do not worry, as this is normal.
Your potatoes should be planted in drills that are 28′′ (70cm) apart in each row. The potatoes should be planted 12-15″ (30-37cm) apart from each other in your drills. Always make sure the eyes are facing upwards and planted at a depth of between 4-6″ (10-15cm).

Harvest Time; 13-15 Weeks
Harvest; June – July
Please note: Harvest times are subject to weather and climate. Harvest fully mature potatoes and store them in a cool, dry, and dark place to ensure their longevity, with the potential for storage lasting several months. A helpful tip during harvesting is to eliminate all foliage and small potatoes from the soil, discarding them to prevent diseases from affecting the next year’s crop.
