Mashed (Rooster) Potatoes with Tomato Gravy

Mashed Potatoes with Tomato Gravy

Yep… you read that right. We used Rooster potatoes for this recipe.

Albert Bartlett Rooster potatoes are brand new to the US market – for the first time grown here on US soil and are launching now into Colorado and Georgia Walmart’s! Can you believe we’re getting something first here in Georgia… not New York or California?

Albert Bartlett has been a household name in at the dinner tables in the UK for over 60 years, and this past growing season they have partnered with US farmers, so this launch has a truly unique story to it from farm to fork! In matters of farming timing is everything.

Albert Bartlett Rooster Potatoes

Rooster potatoes are amazingly fresh, they literally began harvesting early in November – and they are available on shelves in CO and GA Walmart’s starting Nov 11th. Albert Bartlett will probably be harvesting and stocking shelves until January – but when they are sold out – they are sold out, so don’t miss your chance to try this amazing new potato.

Rooster potatoes are new – and are not a russet or a red potato – they actually start out pink but bake golden brown. They are the ideal versatile ingredient – you can bake, boil, mash, roast or fry them. I am particularly impressed by how nice the red skins of the potato are. I like to leave the skins on if possible when making mashed potatoes and can do that with these.
