Potato

I bought this variety of potato the other day. It's called "Purple Hearts'. The inside is like this photo. They are a very dense textured potato and good for roasting and fries. The flavour is no different really - just potato flavour.

Nice colour

[Beryl Lloyd]

Amazing - does it retain this colour on cooking! ??

[Maggiemae]

@beryl Yes it does, Beryl but doesn't taste very blackberry coloured!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@maggiemae Ha ha !! what a shame!!

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely

The color is gorgeous but I don’t think I could make myself eat them and I love potatoes.

[Helen Jane]

you would expect all that colour to give some flavour. But I guess it adds colour to the plate and they say that is good for nutrition to have a variety of colours.

@helenhall That's what I think, too, Helen! Reds, purples, orange and yellow! Plus green of course..

[Rick Schies]

And they taste the same?

[Thom Mitchell]

Cool composite!

[Linda Godwin]

Very interesting

@digitalrn If you shut your eyes, you would never know they looked like this but tasted the same as any other potato, Rick!!

New to me & well presented.

Great shots and colour, such an unusual and new to me potato.

It just seems wrong for a potato to be purple! Nice images though.

[Maggiemae]

@jamibann They in NZ, seem to be going mad on "maori potatoes' which are almost black.

[Bill]

Not seen them before.

[Carole Sandford]

A new one to me.
