FOOD PORN #3 - PURPLE MASHED POTATOES


This past weekend, I went to a couple of area farmers' markets for the first time in a while. Much to my delight, I stumbled upon something I had been keeping my eyes open for all summer: purple potatoes. Purple potatoes are just like regular potatoes, except that they are a BRILLIANT royal purple on the inside. They are fucking BEAUTIFUL, and a great way to give any ordinary potato dish an extra oomph.

Today I used the purple potatoes to make some creamy, garlicky, mashed potatoes. They came out a lovely lilac color. I don't think I ever want to make boring old white mashed potatoes ever again.
