'''Rooster''' is a red-skinned, yellow-fleshed [[cultivar]] of [[potato]], duller in colour than the '[[Désirée potato|Désirée]]', with floury yellow flesh.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.europotato.org/varieties/view/Rooster|title=Rooster|accessdate=9 January 2007|publisher =[[European Cultivated Potato Database]]}}</ref> It is uniformly roundish in shape with shallow eyes making it easy to peel. It is a general-purpose potato. It can be boiled, mashed, chipped, roasted, steamed and baked. It was originally bred in 1990 at the [[Teagasc]] Oak Park Research Centre in [[Carlow]], Ireland, by Harry Kehoe.<ref>{{cite news |title=He was the Harry Potter of Potatoes! |url=http://www.colerainetimes.co.uk/what-s-on/arts-culture/he-was-the-harry-potter-of-potatoes-1-4301336 |newspaper=Colraine Times |date=1 October 2012|accessdate=8 January 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Pedigree image for 'ROOSTER' (year: 1990) |url=https://www.plantbreeding.wur.nl/PotatoPedigree/pedigree_imagemap.php?id=6933&depth=5&showjaar=1 |website=Potato Pedigree Database |publisher=Wageningen University and Research |access-date=24 January 2023}}</ref> <br />
