    I don't know about that - they're a bit off-putting.

    They are stunning! Wouldn't they look fantastic mixed into a potato salad with white and sweet potatoes! Have a great week!

    Oh my! I never thought there is such fruit as purple potato not until now. Thanks for sharing! :)

    Happy WW!

    The color on those potatoes is quite deep! I didn't realize purple potatoes were quite that purple.

    First time I have seen them. They look more like a fruit, I guess they taste much the same as plain old normal coloured boring potatoes, but cost a hell of lot more!

    I love all the new colors in food. It seems to be the new rage. Yellow watermelon, purple and yellow carrots, yellow beets, white asparagus. Love them all.

    @ William, they taste like a yukon gold to me anyway! No more than a bag of baby yukon golds or fingerlings I usually buy to roast.

    Seemed like a nice change. They do lose a lot of that deep purple color when you roast them. Be nice in a potato salad as Ocean Breezes said!

    What a gorgeous color! I'm afraid my husband would never eat them though, because they weren't the "right" color.

    I agree with folks who say these potatoes would look best in a potato salad or some other cold dish. Minnesota Vikings fans might like them any way possible!

    They are really pretty, and would be nice to have all different colors in potato salad, but I tried them once and I think one was bad and has kind of put me off trying them again.

    Love the color! My older son refuses to eat potatoes now because I used to hide his veggies inside them. He might actually eat purple potatoes, though!

    Love the color. Bet Barney has them every night!
    I tried them once, thought they would taste different. They are more expensive than the others at the farmstands here, but fun once in a while. I never met a 'tater I didn't like!

    Wow ! First time I've ever seen or even heard of 'purple potatoes' !! how do they taste ? The same as regular potatoes or a bit different ?

    (I actually thought it might be beetroot for a min)

    Hope you have a great weekend! Found you via #WW :)

    Gorgeous! Whenever I find purple/Viking potatoes, they're never THAT purple inside too...just streaky bits.
    Great shot too.

    They are intensely purple and you've perfectly captured their color. Kudos. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary

    Beautiful purple! There's a restaurant that we like that makes mashed potatoes out of them in the winter. I have to tell you, depending on how they are piped, they are not the most appetizing sight - LOL.

    At first, I thought they might taste like yams or sweet potato. Hmmm, purple french fries. :)

    Beautiful color! I love potatoes like these and I am always a little disappointed when they lose their color after cooking.

  52. MarysolJuly 29, 2011 at 4:25 PM

    Don't you love that regal purple-y color?
    They taste just like a regular potato. The flesh turns almost black when roasted, but I refuse to be intimidated by a spud, no matter what the color :)
