Rocket seed potatoes when first released in 1987 were the quickest bulking of all early potatoes. Rockets ability to grow large crops of uniformed round tubers made it very popular.

Rocket was considered to be one of the better exhibition potatoes at the time.

Rocket has a mild taste. Tubers are white fleshed and skinned with shallow eyes.

There is good resistance to blackleg, common scab, and spraing.

Lifting of Rocket before full maturity is recommended to avoid cracking of the tubers.

Culinary uses are early boiling and salads.
