Oh yeah, great purple colour when baked or fried.

Boiled, not so much ;)

The potatoes never stay as purple as you’d like.

We have these in NZ: https://www.tepapa.govt.nz/discover-collections/read-watch-play/maori/maori-potatoes (last image on the page).

They start out the bright royal purple in the image, but by the end of boiling they turn a blueish-grey colour, and the water will be a delightful maroon-crimson shade.

If you want it to look like you’ve blended up Barney the Dinosaur, you’re going to be colouring them.

My first time hearing that word too, but apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truckle

late Middle English (denoting a wheel or pulley): from Anglo-Norman French trocle, from Latin trochlea ‘sheaf of a pulley’. The current sense dates from the early 19th century and was originally dialect.

Thanks, not hungry anymore.
