Hi Molly, as promised, a report on the cooked black potatoes. When I peeled them and cut them, parts of the insides were white, but it took about a dozen washes to remove the purple staining from my hands. I parboiled the potatoes - and the water turned a lovely shade of blue - and then I roasted them. They didn't go golden brown, they just stayed black, and the outsides weren't crispy - they were just smooth and a bit hard.

Conclusion: I definitely wouldn't buy them. They don't look appetising and the flavour is no different to that of a white potato. x

I got some of them once. They were naff :-)

Haaa! Well that's one way of putting it, Ummmm! :o)

[ummmm]

I mashed them....they looked awful on the plate. Didn't have the right consistency either.

I'm the spud queen :-)

[naomi24]

A wise choice, Molly! Ask the spud queen! :o)

[ummmm]

Most certainly :-)

Is this potatoeism here with a touch of colour prejudice?

[madmolly]

Lol, nannybooby potatoeism would indeed point at the colour but this is to do with texture and flavour so in real time would equate to dislike because of content of character!
