Now after reading this yesterday I saw them in the market…a blog made purple gnocci with them once, and that seemed really creative…

I love discovering new things when traveling especially food things. That is the best part! My husband just returned from a trip to Peru where he had ceviche for the first time and really enjoyed it. A beautiful recap of your meal!

Oisin: yep, you’re the second person to mention F&B – I should pay more attention next time I’m in there, goodness knows I’m a frequent enough visitor to the place!

Lori: that indeed sounds like I’d love it! I’m going to have to have a go at a multi-coloured potato dish sometime for sure.

Tangled Noodle: yes, a wonderful cap to the adventures indeed :) – and I would have happily forgiven any wild indelicacy in your part if you had managed to be there!

Heather: it’s just such a deep, impressive purple, I will have to try cooking with them myself

Natasha: yes, a lovely meal, I’m always happy to meet potatoes in new guises

Sophie: thanks and I will be interested to see what you make if you get those purple spuds!

Diva: aw, shucks :)

Mary Bakes: good stuff – it clearly took me a while to get around to trying them too :)

greg: and an honour to meet you too! this is definitely a chic place – maybe you can try it next time you’re in SF

Jenni: oh absolutely, definite bonus points for purpleness – and the dulce de leche with port meringue was *very* good, thick and kindof butterscotch-y and yum

gastroanthropologist: I had a great trip! I am now definitely intrigued to try my hand at purple mash to see if I have the same colour experience…

It sounds like you enjoyed your west coast trip! I haven’t been to La Mar, but will certainly check it out on my next visit home. Wow that purple mash is so purple! The purple potato mash I’ve made always ends up this grayish sort of color…

Even if they weren’t the best ever potatoes, they do indeed get points for purpleness. And that must count for something. Right? :)

Because I’m me, though, I’m intrigued by the dulce de leche w/port meringue….

This is so much more than the Peruvian places I told you about that I have been to in Los Angeles. Quite chic! It was such an honor meeting you!!! GREG

I’ve always wanted to try purple spuds! I’ve seen them a few times but for some reason I never buy them?! Well next time I will!

Mmm, love purple potatoes. My bro grew them one year and they were spectacular. On an unrelated note … I made potato salad yesterday … naturally, I thought of you! ;)
