I know what I’m making tonight! I just harvested 5lbs. of purple potatoes from the garden and am chomping at the bit to cook them. Can’t wait!

LOVE THEM! I had to modify a little — I can’t do raw shallots, so I sauteed in the olive oil til translucent and a bit browned. YUMMEH. Then I used a little lemon zest instead of juice (preference) an thyme (didn’t have parsley). SOOOOO GOOOOOD! I also tried in the other half of the batch to use “lemon thyme” and no extra lemon…that experiment was very delicious!

I tried this recipe and it was delicious! I added onion (red or spanish) by sautéing it in a little butter and I also added some rosemary. My family loved it! Thank you!

Not at all! I think this recipe is much more of an “approach” to cooking potatoes than it is dictate that must be closely followed. :)

It’s probably horrible to suggest creating something *like* this dish (but not this one, I promise) using non-purple spuds, but if you happen to get your hands on some smallish yellow potatoes at any time, try boiling and peeling them up similarly, smashing them the same way, then drizzling with a bit of balsalmic vinegar, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and a bit of sea salt and fresh groun black pepper. I know, it’s too easy to call it a recipe, even, but it’s pretty delightful.

I was looking for something to liven up our dinner routine, and I found this recipe. It was absolutely delicious, and my husband loved it! I didn’t have shallots so I used some minced white onion instead, and it still tasted fantastic. Excellent flavor, and the beautiful color of the potatoes really makes this an exciting yet simple dish.

Just dug some purple potatoes up from the garden and made this – lovely. Exactly what I expect from you every time! Please, please, will the book be out in time for Christmas gifting?

I was looking for a non-gratin purple potato recipe and this looks smashingly good! I may (absolutely) add some bacon crumbles and fresh basil.

Just got purple potatoes from my organic co-op, too, and they tagged your recipe for it. It was so delicious! I love the white pepper & lemon juice – really adds an interesting flavor.
