We tried something new. A couple of months ago Ken picked up some purple potatoes. We'd never had them before, so I was excited to try them. I made mashed potatoes with them. This is what they look like on the inside before cooking them.
I made mashed potatoes, chicken gravy, sauteed carrots and smoked pork chops. The purple potatoes taste just like regular potatoes if you're wondering, but they're purple. It made for a colorful plate of food. Oh and smoked pork chops taste just like baked ham.
I have seen but never tried purple potatoes - thank you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you try them now.
DeleteNever even seen one before.
ReplyDeleteNo if you see one, you'll know.
DeleteOh wow, purple potatoes... Never heard of those. That's cool!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too.
DeleteI like these potatoes, it changes a bit. I think my fave are the pink ones
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the pink ones.
Deleteit's like that https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomme_de_terre_%C3%A0_chair_color%C3%A9e#/media/Fichier:11-09-10-kartoffel-DSC_5412.jpg
DeleteI've never seen a purple potato. How weird.
ReplyDeleteit was weird but tasted the same.
DeleteI've seen them, but always wondered if they tasted like the regular ones. Definitely make for a colorful plate for sure,and I'm going to try some. Thanks Marvelous Mary! RO
ReplyDeleteThey do taste the same. I loved the color.
DeleteI'm surprised most have not seen them. We've had them a number of times and even picked some at a local farm once (they till the ground for you). I think they taste like red potatoes. I still prefer plain old Idaho potatoes.
ReplyDeleteI've seen them but never tried them before now.
DeleteI have seen them in a package with mixed potatoes. They sure do make for a colorful plate. I love all potatoes.
ReplyDeleteI love all potatoes too.
Deletethey look so weird. did it mess with you? mmmmm smoked pork chops. yummy.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
No, didn't mess with me. They're the same as regular potatoes.
DeleteThere has been purple taters on some plates here too, I heard they were good!
ReplyDeleteThey were. They taste the same to me.
DeleteI had some purple potatoes a few years ago--they were interesting. Personally, I like beets for my color in root vegetables.
ReplyDeletewww.thepulpitandthepen.com
Beets are good every now and again.
DeleteI had those a few years back and they were good.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who likes them.
DeleteThe color, hmm, ok not tasty to me ;) But I have had that color carrots so :)
ReplyDeleteI know the color was weird but they taste the same.
DeleteOh wow! What a hoot! We don't have those in our store, but now I want to try them and pretend they're alien food. :)
ReplyDeletelol That sounds fun.
DeleteI love purple potatoes but I usually roast them.Our farmers markets always have weird colored food lol
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
Farmer's market would be the place to go for sure.
DeleteThis is so fun! I'd never even heard of purple potatoes before.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun plate of food.
DeleteMy hubby LOVES purple potatoes. He grows them every year in a trash can in layers, harvesting a bit at a time. I don't love them, I thought they tasted strange, but it's probably that they LOOK weird which makes my brain think they're odd somehow.
ReplyDeleteThey tasted exactly the same to me. I thought for sure they would taste different.
DeletePurple potatoes? Fun! I wonder if they have any more nutritional value. I stuck a couple of potatoes that were old and growing roots into the ground a couple of months ago and now they're growing like mad. I guess that's not the proper way to grow potatoes, but still, it's working. We'll see how it turns out. :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I bet that will get you some good potatoes.
DeleteI don't think I've ever heard of purple potatoes! Haha. I know you're not supposed to eat them if they're still green. ;)
ReplyDeleteLindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 😷💬
That's true.
DeleteI've never tried them myself. They do look pretty on the plate!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was fun trying them.
DeleteYummy meal!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI never knew there were purple potatoes!
ReplyDeleteI didn't either until Ken broght them home.
DeleteYum.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteThey sure look colorful and I can imagine they add a nice pop of color to dishes. Good to know they taste just like normal potatoes.
ReplyDeleteI want to roast them with odd colored vegies now.
DeleteI've had them before and like them especially colorful in a roasted veggie combo. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking of doing that.
DeleteYou know my feelings about them. Love them.
ReplyDeleteThey were good.
DeleteI have never seen purple potatoes. They look kind of different but the taste is the only thing that matters :)
ReplyDeleteAnd they tasted good.
DeleteOh wow I don't think I've ever had a purple potato!
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty.
DeleteI've had them a couple times, I thought they were fine. The next time I get them I plan to roast them with the multi-colored carrots I found.
ReplyDeleteI think that's a good idea.
DeleteLooks like a mighty good meal. I grown colored carrots before
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI've never tried coloured potatoes but I'd give it a go. It looks more interesting on the plate!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was a fun dinner.
DeletePurple potatoes look fab! I love colourful food so these would be perfect for me. I've not seen them locally, but will keep a lookout.
ReplyDeleteI've made a purple (called red) cabbage soup before which has a gorgeous deep purple colour. Ideal for Halloween!
Oh yeah, I love red cabbage.
DeleteI had no idea purple potatoes were a thing!
ReplyDeleteApparently they are and they taste the same as the brown ones.
DeleteI'll have to look and see if our grocery store has purple potatoes. They look magical. ✨
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed them.
DeleteI need more sex, ok? Before I die I wanna taste everyone in the world. Click here and Check me out i am getting naked here ;)
