Purple Mashed Potatoes Recipe
These bright and beautiful purple mashed potatoes are not only beautifully and naturally colored, but they are loaded with beneficial antioxidants!
Equipment
- Hand held masher
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds purple potatoes (sometimes they are purple on the outside and not on the inside, so make sure they are purple on the inside too!)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2/3 cup milk (any kind is fine, whole, skim, almond...)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Optional but recommended
- 1-2 tbsp truffle oil, or other flavored oil of choice
- 2 tbsp minced parsley
Instructions
- Fill a large stock pot with water (enough to cover the potatoes well).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes, then quarter them.
- Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes to the pot and boil until a fork easily goes through the potato, about 20 minutes. Drain them and add them back to the same pot.
- Mash the potatoes using a hand held masher. Their skins should easily dissolve and mash into the rest of the potatoes.
- Now toss in the butter, milk, salt, parsley and truffle oil. Stir to combine and melt the butter. Serve immediately, or refrigerate overnight in a tupperware container and re-heat in the oven or microwave tomorrow!
Notes
Tips:
- If you like truffle flavor, I HIGHLY recommend using truffle oil in this recipe! It goes great with the potato flavor (think truffle fries, but mashed!).
