Purple Potatoes — Vitelottes

They are amongst my favorite types of potatoes. Beautiful natural coloring in food! I cannot resist. And so, there has been a lot of cooking going on with these. Next week, I will share a recipe, if you like.

Bon weekend à tous ! Have a nice weekend!

  1. Nice composition! I love making potato mash with blue potatoes, and sprinkle some finely chopped chives on top - such a nice colourful plateful!

  9. Beautiful picture! =) I like exotic-coloured foods too! In Singapore, we have purple sweet potatoes and I buy them instead of purple potatoes because they’re much cheaper. Hee.

  10. This reminds me of the purple cauliflower I was able to pick up this year. Somehow the color changed everything…

  15. are these potatoes sweet? I don’t think I’ve ever seen purple ones that weren’t sweet.

  19. Makes me think of doing potato stamps in grade school!
    Love those blue ones!! Now I’ll wait to see what became of those fellows.

  20. Color is everything, I guess…suddenly the everyday potato is exotic and sublime. Can’t wait to see what you cook with these lovelies.
