Did you know that there are over 7,000 varieties of potatoes? For someone like me who loves potatoes, that’s enough to make my heart skip a beat. Did you also know that they are packed with antioxidants? They are also packed with vitamin C and have more potassium than a banana! Not bad for a little tuber that most people don’t take too seriously. One of my favorite potatoes to use is the blues/purple variety. They have an amazing, fun color, to make the experience interesting, and the texture is that of a Russet which makes them versatile to use. Next time you are going to mash potatoes consider picking up something a little different like the blue variety – maybe even pick up yellow potatoes as well. Mash them separately, then swirl them together. Give yourself a new experience at the table.
