Reviews
Hard to please everyone, but this one is a total winner! The kids LOVED the purple potatoes because they were different. Works well with so many dishes… roast chicken, black bean burgers, hummus, and even breakfast with chorizo and eggs! (I just diced the potatoes)
This was a simple recipe that tasted great. You can serve this along side anything. My friends were impressed with how great it tasted with how little preparation!
This was my first time using purple potatoes and I wanted something basic. Guess what? They just taste like potatoes. But I was happy to find this recipe, it was really helpful.
The adults loved this, the kids were a little put off by the purple color of the potatoes, but thoght they were still good. It is a really good and lower calory way to eat potatoes than some of your traditional ways. Very easy to do as well.
i picked up a bag of purple potatoes at the farmers market over the weekend and couldn’t wait to find a great recipe. this quick and easy recipe is not only delicious, but goes well with fish (i paired mine with grilled halibut). the contrast of dark purple potato with the fresh green cilantro is dramatic and the flavor…YUM!!!
easy to make, and good results.
