Growing 'Rooster' Potatoes from Store-Bought Tubers

'Rooster' is a red-skinned potato brand, not a distinct variety. Store-bought tubers are often treated with sprout inhibitors. If you can get one to sprout, plant golf-ball-sized pieces in a sunny bed now.

If sprouts emerge, follow standard potato care. If not, you've lost little. Better yet, buy certified seed potatoes of a known red variety like 'Red Pontiac' or 'Dark Red Norland' for a reliable crop.
