| If I'm not blind, this is purple potato. The only "blue" about it, when I broil to make mashed potatoes, the water turns to blue.
It's a crazy potato. They have so many eyes, so many plants and many potatoes. I planted 5pd, harvested 28pd by now, and I still have more in the garden. The plants are about double size tall compare to superior and russet norkotah. Very resistant to late blight. Some potatoes are very big and oblong shape, some of them small and round shape. The problem with this variety is, the potatoes are mostly very very far from center/stem. More than 1 feet, easy to miss some potatoes. The connections between stem and potatoes are thicker and color is light purple. I was counting them and potatoes, to check if I missed any potato. I have to admit, I digged deep and wide, but there were potatoes I couldn't find.
It doesn't have any special taste when I fried. they look interesting with purple color. I think when I mashed, its taste was better.
It also gave me so many uneadible size potato, I'll use them as seeds for next year. We have too much rain here, maybe that's why, those potatoes couldn't grow. I got the seeds from americanseedco.com I think it's one of the best kept secret on the internet. |

| Grew in 2007 for first time. No Colorado Potato Beetles this year for some reason. Very nice plants - grew in a row and hilled them up once and watered during drought. Nice harvest of small, oblong, all blue potatoes. Very "potatoey" taste that we liked a lot. The only problem for my is that they are small and hard to peel. It's fine to eat the cooked peel of course, but it can be very papery. They keep well. A great potato if you don't mind small potatoes. |

| Grew it for the first time last year. Got huge tubers that were so firm I almost couldn't cut through them. They took longer to cook than my other varieties; found out early that they either had to go into a seperate pan or go in earlier when trying to cook up a mixed color dish.
Great keeping qualities. Color was great for mixed color fries and chips. |

| My kids love this variety. Mostly because of the color. DOesn't make very appeitizing mashed potatoes but fry them up in a pan and they hold their color pretty well. This is a variety I grow every year. |

| I loved this potato! I love most potatoes, and I love colorful food; so I'm a little biased here! It is beautiful to look at and yummy to eat. (I boiled them for 15 minutes, dumped the water and added butter.) The tubers I grew were somewhat small, but I think we ate them all before they had the chance to fully develop. I will certainly grow these again. |
