Well you live and learn! Bet you couldn't buy them here.
What do they taste like? Are they actually the same as ordinary potatoes?
I love potatoes, but I've never seen any purple ones!
They taste like ordinary ones, yes. Very yummy once you get over the 'I'm eating purple potato' bit.
I saw a UK website that called Shetland Black purple potatoes but I googled those and they are yellow with a purple ring, not like these - although I don't know what's happened to the photo.
I have never seen any of those before!
Oh! So is that the purple mash from the photo below?
I would love to try the purple potatoes. Thanks for the beautiful photos.

Thats a beetroot you silly!
Liz, someone's grown those potatoes next to the beetroot and the colour's leached out...just thought you'd like to know...heheh!
food colouring? ;0)
btw the prayers have worked..Mx has slept through the night since Friday :0)
You can grow purple and blue potatoes over here! they are trendy in all the growing catalogues this year.
Neither had I, cherrypie, but Daughter knew about them.
Yes, leslie.
Richie, I'm sure they must be available in the US.
Are you saying I can't tell my beet from my pot, mutley?
It's a possibility, robyn!
Good news, amanda.
I think you should grow some purple ones and write about them on your allotment blog, anna.
I don't think I could ever get past the 'I'm eating purple potato' bit! I would definitely need a bucket close by, before I could try them.
Love the photos! You and your daughter look like sisters.
Just not sure with that colour...
