I've seen Roosters advertised round the field at the rugby matches, what are they?

They are a universal spud called the rooster good for roasting and mashing,never found a large enough rooster spud to bake

I find that most main crop varieties get difficult to boil at this time of year.

The roosters i get from Tesco usually have a couple in the bag big enough to bake. They are my absolute favourite potatoes as they taste good boiled, mashed, baked, as wedges or as chips :-)
