“PURPLE POTATOES, also called Blue Potatoes, truly are naturally purple! This is from the same powerful antioxidant that gives blueberries their brilliant color. Purple Peruvian Potatoes were some of the first potatoes harvested. They were saved for Inca kings. Used in Mexican cooking, purple potatoes are gaining popularity in the U.S. They have a naturally creamy flavor and texture and hold their shape well for salads. They stay purple once cooked, but not as vibrant as when raw. Blue Potatoes are very much like Purple Potatoes, with a striking color and wonderful flavor and moist texture. Like the Purple Potato, they hold their shape after cooking. Steam or bake to preserve the color.”
