PURPLE MAJESTY FORK-CRUSHED POTATOES

Purple Majesty Fork-Crushed Potatoes image

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...

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 lb purple majesty potato, washed, scrubbed and peeled (cut in half or quartered depending on size)
2 -3 shallots, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (cut in half-add more in you want)
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped (curly parsley ok)
fleur de sel, to taste
cracked white pepper or cracked black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

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.

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 pound Purple Majesty or other purple potatoes, washed + scrubbed
4 small shallots, minced
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
6 tablespoons good extra-virgin olive oil (we used half, and it was plenty for us)
Fleur de sel to taste
White pepper to taste
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

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. Plus, they are a beautiful purple color that will add a pop of color to your plate. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these potatoes at home and enjoy them with your family and friends.
