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.[2][3] In 2004, 'Rooster' potatoes accounted for 38% of the total potato production in the Republic of Ireland.[4]
