PURPLE POTATOES

We recently went grocery shopping and saw this bag of mixed colors of potatoes.   They looked really interesting so we got a bag of them.

one day we had the yellow potatoes.  A couple of days later we had the red skin potatoes.   And now it was time for the purple potatoes.   Never ever had purple potatoes before.   I was a little apprehensive how they would taste.
We mashed them and had them with some "dry rub" beef barbecue ribs.   Beef ribs always look so gigantic as compared to pork ribs.   Oh yeah, don't forget the  barbecue baked beans.   Just can't have barbecue ribs without the beans.   And did you notice the glass of ice tea in the upper left corner in the picture below?   Barbecue is like a package deal:  ribs, beans, ice tea, and garlic bread toasted.   Watching a football game on television helps also.
They had a deep purple color.   Really unusual.
How did they taste?   They seem to taste just like regular potatoes.   But maybe a gourmet with discerning tastes might be able to taste a difference.
Anyone besides me have eaten purple potatoes?   How about sweet potato casserole?   I always look forward to Thanksgiving for the sweet potato casserole.   Green bean casserole?   After the third year I was burned out on green bean casserole.   Have a great day.   Lew
