Purple Majesty Potato

Some other heirloom varieties: Mountain rose potatoes, Viking purple potatoes.
This variety of potato is a true sight of amazement. It has both a bright royal purple color on the outside and on the inside. It contains high amounts of anthocyanin, which is a strong antioxidant found in other purple plants like aubergines. Regardless of the strange appearance, this potato tastes exactly like other white varieties of potato, and it does not lose its color during cooking. This can be used to put an interesting twist in ordinary dinner dishes, by having purple chips or purple mash.
