Purple Potatoes??!!

This is Al's favorite thing about a garden: Harvest! I didn't plant much (some of which that I did plant got washed away since I put the garden in the middle of a waterway!! Al told me it was a waterway, but I didn't listen very well...). The other thing I didn't do much of was weed! UGH!
     One thing we did plant was purple potatoes! Only because they were purple and that was intriguing to me! The other night I looked out my deck door and saw Al and Carter digging my purple potatoes without me!! So Emily, Casey and I headed out to take part in digging potatoes!




Since I have a funny quirk that I don't like to touch dry dirt, Carter did all of the "digging" around for the potatoes and I took pictures!

They weren't very big and there weren't very many, but this was our first year in this spot, so we'll see what next year brings!! They are fun anyway!
Emily is getting quite creative when she takes my camera...maybe we'll have 3 photographers in the family yet!! Now if I could just get them to love reading as much as I do, I'd have a book club right at home!!
They actually are purple through and through...
They turn a little bit gray when cooked, but still fun and intriguing and tasty!




A pic of everyone taking a bite of purple potatoes! Except me; they were all hungry so I just snapped these quick and sat down to eat with them!

Try something new today! It's kinda fun!

I love how your meal nicely coordinated with your dishes and pan handle! ;) Did they taste any different from other potatoes? How fun!
