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

  8. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. @ 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!

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

  16. I have not had any of these yet but am going to get some because they look awesome!

  17. Interesting. I haven't seen these in my local supermarket, but if I saw them, I'd have to try them!

  18. 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!

  19. They are pretty and they taste great too!

  25. I used to get those in my CSA veggie basket and loved the color!

    ReplyDelete
  26. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  27. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Now that's a first!

    Have a great day!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Wow, that's a lovely shade of purple! I don't think I've ever had purple potatoes before (other than in a bag of chips!).

    ReplyDelete
  31. I've never seen purple potatoes before. I didn't even know they exist.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh wow --the first thing I thought of was Jet Blue's " Blue Terra Chips" snack! I always get them when I fly :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. This is the first time I've seen purple potatoes. Didn't know there was such a thing.

    Have a terrific WW. :)

  34. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  35. 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 :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. I am seeing these for the first time. Wonder how they taste.

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

    ReplyDelete
  39. loved growing these with my students. so funky!

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

  41. Beautiful! I had to look twice to see what they were.

    ReplyDelete
  42. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  44. I have seen these in my market as well. would make for a colorful potato salad with white & gold ones in the mix.

  45. Hi there,
    I LOVE purple potatoes! My husband and I discovered them a couple of years ago and we serve them a lot! Enjoy! xoxo Kim

    ReplyDelete
  46. That is such a deep purple! Gorgeous!

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

    ReplyDelete
  48. 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 :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Interesting. I've tried them once - they taste like regular potatoes. Looks very nice on a salad!

    ReplyDelete
