Purple Potatoes

I don't remember where or when I heard about Purple Potatoes but I was interested and I was also going to get some.  There are a few farms in northern Florida  (e.g. Hasting) that grow purple potatoes but I don't believe that they are open to the public.

I asked at the local market and they had indeed heard about purple potatoes and shortly afterwards these small potatoes were available in bags.  OK, that will do for starters.

I cooked the purple potatoes as I would regular white one.  They did not lose their color and remained firm.


I understand that you may grow the purple potatoes as you would regular white or red potatoes.

After these potatoes were cooked, I served them as I would other potatoes

 My new found potatoes were a little bit "mealy."  They are different.  I can't say that I fell in love with them but I will give them another try. What about you?

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Look for the upcoming April A to Z log Challenge.
