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

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.

I made this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. The potatoes were still light and fluffy, and they tasted just as good as the regular version.

I made a vegetarian version of this recipe by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The potatoes were just as delicious and flavorful.

Guacamole is another great topping for these potatoes. The creamy avocado and tangy lime really brighten up the dish.

I love serving these potatoes with salsa. The salsa adds a fresh, tangy flavor that really complements the potatoes.

I served these potatoes with a dollop of sour cream and they were perfect. The sour cream added a creamy richness that balanced out the flavor of the potatoes.

I cooked some bacon and crumbled it over the potatoes before serving. The bacon added a smoky flavor and made the potatoes even more irresistible.

I added a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the potatoes before baking them. It gave them a nice crispy crust and extra cheesy flavor.

I used fresh herbs from my garden in this recipe and they really made a difference. The potatoes were so fragrant and flavorful.

I'm a big fan of garlic, so I added an extra clove to the recipe. It really enhanced the flavor of the potatoes.

I added a bit of cayenne pepper to the recipe to give it a little kick. It was the perfect amount of spice and really took the potatoes to the next level.

I had these potatoes at a friend's house and they were so good, I had to ask for the recipe. They're now a staple at my dinner parties.

I'm always looking for new ways to make healthy side dishes, and this recipe fit the bill perfectly. The potatoes were packed with nutrients and the fork-crushing method made them extra fluffy.
