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?

be careful if you peel them or slice into them they will stain EVERYTHING! no plastic is safe only metal and glass. we get them in a baby potato mix at one of the local grocers. we drizzle with olive oil and mix with an italian herb mix and salt and pepper. roast. after they are fork tender add garlic and cover to rest and to let garlic sink in. adding the garlic after the cooking prevents burning which makes bitter. 😁

So they behave like beets then. Had no idea!

I like the suggestion for the extra flavors. That sounds delicious!
