From WTF??? at the greengrocer .........to YUMMY! on the table.   They really are a deep purplish blue - all the way through! The cold lemon-water soak, as recommended Mashed - with butter and chopped chives, even if you can't see them! Plated with steamed broccoli /carrots and Cajun tilapia. DELICIOUS!

Yum!
And on a sort of related side note, We are in the process of converting about a third of the greenhouse into aquaponics beds so we can be more serious about raising larger tilapia.

I wouldn't mind buying one of these potatoes and trying them myself if I could find out who sells them in my area. |

Do you have any farmer's markets? Or small farms that sell a variety of produce? Ask your produce person at the grocery, they might carry them from time to time, our standard grocery has them, but not year round. |

Do they have a special flavor or is it just a color thing?

Depends on the variety of purple/blue potato. The kind we grow are denser than the russets and are great for boiling and roasting. I think they taste kinda purple, lol, a buttery creamy kind of purple!
We've got 5 kinds of potatoes growing, we expanded the veggie garden in order to do so. They are sprouting up now. I'm so excited I'm gonna be a potato hoarder. |

Now I'm sorry I didn't plant any of those again this year. They are so yummy!

None of the stores in town carry this type of potato and I am stumped over how it actually tastes. |
