This is probably weird, but we planted purple potatoes this year and made mashed taters out of them last night to go along with the bass I caught.

Well.....the fish looks good!

Did Barney come over for dinner?

Stupid question….do they taste like regular (white) potatoes?

well....it makes a festive presentation

Very colorful.

We grew those growing up as well, but never had them mashed.

Should have had some white carrots with them.

They do have a slightly sweeter taste than the white ones. They are not quite as productive as the white or the red ones. White carrots and white asparagus, sounds like a real meal.

Seems like you should write a book for children Heybud.

Something like "Purple potatoes and spam."

Those spuds would be popular here for Mardi Gras

Party Potatoes!!!!

I found some of those colored taters at a farmer's roadside stand last year, except they were blue. Offered to bring the mashed potatoes to that Sunday's get together at the in-laws. The looks they got were priceless, tasted good too . The little kids really loved them.

She had maroon red okra too

Love this thread. Makes me feel like my 4 year old son is actually going to like stuff like this when he gets older because he starts almost every day with oatmeal that we drop a little food dye in to color it either blue, red, or yellow! Purple mashed potatoes will be a natural for him!
