PURPLE MAJESTY FORK-CRUSHED POTATOES

I scored on 'Purple Majesty' potatoes last weekend at the local farmer's market. Here is a very simple recipe from Chef Michael Anthony via smittenkitten.com. From the site: "There's a new potato in town, and not only is its flesh a rakish shade of purple that even Prince might find a little loud, but it's also really good for you. The potato was developed last year by Colorado growers using natural cross-breeding techniques that somehow resulted in a superspud containing freakishly high amounts of antioxidants." There's a surprise in store for you, too...read on...

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb purple majesty potato, washed, scrubbed and peeled (cut in half or quartered depending on size)
2 -3 shallots, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (cut in half-add more in you want)
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped (curly parsley ok)
fleur de sel, to taste
cracked white pepper or cracked black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Note: If you prefer, the potatoes can be boiled first in their skin then peeled.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the potatoes until tender, approximately 25 minutes.
  • Drain.
  • Place the potatoes back in the pot and using a fork, mash the potatoes.
  • Fold in the remaining ingredients, sprinkling the lemon juice on top of the potatoes last.
  • Did you notice what happened? The citric acid in the lemon juice "bleached" some areas of the potatoes a "lighter and brighter" shade of purple! Nifty, huh?!
  • This concludes this week's science experiment.

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound Purple Majesty or other purple potatoes, washed + scrubbed
4 small shallots, minced
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
6 tablespoons good extra-virgin olive oil (we used half, and it was plenty for us)
Fleur de sel to taste
White pepper to taste
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large pot, cook potatoes with skins on in heavily salted boiling water until tender, approximately 15 minutes. Remove potatoes from pot, and peel them while still warm. Place potatoes in a large bowl and, using a fork, gently smash them, maintaining a fairly chunky consistency. Fold in minced shallots, lemon juice, olive oil, fleur de sel, and white pepper. Finish with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and become fluffy when mashed.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender: You want the potatoes to be cooked through but not overcooked, so they don't become mushy.
  • Use a fork to crush the potatoes: This will give the potatoes a rustic, mashed texture.
  • Add plenty of butter and milk: This will make the potatoes creamy and flavorful.
  • Season the potatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Garnish the potatoes with fresh herbs: Chopped parsley, chives, or dill will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

These purple majesty fork-crushed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are fluffy, creamy, and flavorful, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
