Chicken marsala w purple mashed potatoes, yummy!

Purple mash??!!

?

Chicken Marsala, yum yum. Not sure about the purple mashed potatoes...

I know they (the purple mash) look....um let say...different, but they were very good. No artificial colors added. I used purple potatoes.

Well thats something I havent seen, do they taste different?

I thought maybe you added eggplants to the potatoes.
Purple potatoes???

I have just looked them up they are amazing deep purple inside and out.
Here is a quote from October 2010:
A purple potato that growers claim is healthier than the standard variety is going on sale in UK supermarkets.
'The Purple Majesty has a distinctive deep colour and contains up to 10 times the level of antioxidant, anthocyanins, compared with white potatoes.
It was developed at Colorado State University from a traditional variety.
Despite its appearance, the potato now being grown by Perthshire producer Albert Bartlett after two years of trials, is not genetically modified.
Potatoes originate from the high reaches of the Andes and come in thousands of varieties, with many having developed deep red and purple colouring.
The trials found that the Purple Majesty could be grown in Scotland.'

Nice info Drc...thanks :) They are a bit starchier (if that's a word) and said to be a bit nuttier tasting, although I didn't think that they tasted much different than reg potatoes.

I think they look good raw, but I think its a colour too far for my mash! but I can see children might well eat it.
