Purple Potato Salad

Last week’s CSA brought me purple potatoes. Is it weird that I fell in love and almost avoided cooking them because I didn’t want them to be gone? Food is crazy like that.

Purple Potato Salad

Potato salad is one of those side dishes that you can find anywhere from the grocery store on the corner, to your annual family reunion potluck, to the little café you frequent, all the way to a Michelin star restaurant. It’s the girl next door and the queen of France. It can be simple and down home or elevated and fancy.

Today’s potato salad is brought to you by the girl who wants to proclaim to the world that she’s in love with purple potatoes and she doesn’t care who knows! The white salad turnips, purple potatoes, red radishes, and a whole host of green herbs and onions didn’t hurt my feelings either…

If you can’t get your hand on any purple potatoes, red potatoes would be my next suggestion if you’re trying to add some extra color to your dish.
