Different, but really good.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The adults loved this, the kids were a little put off by the purple color of the potatoes, but thoght they were still good.... It is a really good and lower calory way to eat potatoes than some of your traditional ways. Very easy to do as well.Read more

i picked up a bag of purple potatoes at the farmers market over the weekend and couldn't wait to find a great recipe. this... quick and easy recipe is not only delicious, but goes well with fish (i paired mine with grilled halibut). the contrast of dark purple potato with the fresh green cilantro is dramatic and the flavor...YUM!!!Read more
