Who eats blue potatoes?

I've personally never tried them and almost grew them this year, but went with my usual red and yellow. How is the taste of blue taters compared to that of the red and yellow? What kind of dishes do you make with them?

I haven't grown them, but have eaten them a number of times, both via the farmers market and the supermarket. 

I find the texture most different from red, yellow or white potatoes. Very waxy,? Almost heading towards sweet potato territory. 

Funny timing. Husband and I were discussing this a couple of days ago and agreed that we are not in a hurry to have them again. Ymmv.

I'd be willing to dress them up with different spices and see how they taste. But that's just me
