PURPLE MAJESTY FORK-CRUSHED POTATOES
I scored on 'Purple Majesty' potatoes last weekend at the local farmer's market. Here is a very simple recipe from Chef Michael Anthony via smittenkitten.com. From the site: "There's a new potato in town, and not only is its flesh a rakish shade of purple that even Prince might find a little loud, but it's also really good for you. The potato was developed last year by Colorado growers using natural cross-breeding techniques that somehow resulted in a superspud containing freakishly high amounts of antioxidants." There's a surprise in store for you, too...read on...

Steps:
- Note: If you prefer, the potatoes can be boiled first in their skin then peeled.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the potatoes until tender, approximately 25 minutes.
- Drain.
- Place the potatoes back in the pot and using a fork, mash the potatoes.
- Fold in the remaining ingredients, sprinkling the lemon juice on top of the potatoes last.
- Did you notice what happened? The citric acid in the lemon juice "bleached" some areas of the potatoes a "lighter and brighter" shade of purple! Nifty, huh?!
- This concludes this week's science experiment.

Steps:
- In a large pot, cook potatoes with skins on in heavily salted boiling water until tender, approximately 15 minutes. Remove potatoes from pot, and peel them while still warm. Place potatoes in a large bowl and, using a fork, gently smash them, maintaining a fairly chunky consistency. Fold in minced shallots, lemon juice, olive oil, fleur de sel, and white pepper. Finish with parsley.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a combination of waxy and starchy potatoes, such as Yukon Golds and Russets. The waxy potatoes will hold their shape better, while the starchy potatoes will give the potatoes a creamy texture.
- Make sure the potatoes are cooked through before mashing them. You can check this by inserting a fork into the center of a potato - if it goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Don't overcook the potatoes, or they will become gluey. Remove them from the heat as soon as they are tender.
- Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a fork or a potato masher, but be sure to mash the potatoes until they are completely smooth.
- Add your favorite seasonings and ingredients to taste. Some popular additions include butter, milk, cream, sour cream, garlic, onions, and herbs.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Purple Majesty Fork Crushed Potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, fluffy, and full of flavor.
