Garlicky Mashed Purple Potatoes
Filled with anthocyanins, dietary fiber and plenty of vitamins, Japanese purple potatoes are one of my favorite things to cook with. Sometimes, I simply roast one in the oven whole, crack it open and top it with crumbled goat cheese, chopped herbs and olive oil. Topped with any kind of crunch like toasted nuts, that can be dinner. The potatoes can be hard to find, the Whole Foods on Kirby Drive usually carry them as does the Houston Airline Farmer’s market. They are visually stunning and when combined with savory flavorings, simply delicious. You can amp these mashed potatoes up by adding butter and cream, or herbs or aromatic spices like cinnamon and cardamom. Here is a super simple recipe with an aromatic cardamom finish.

Notes & Variations
- Be careful not to overcook these potatoes or you will lose the brilliant purple color.
- For a creamier finish, replace the water with milk, coconut milk or a portion of heavy cream.
- For a spicy tang, add one finely minced serrano pepper to the potato mix while boiling.
