White potatoes, yellow potatoes, red potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yes there is a blue potato! These potatoes are not only eye catching, but they are also very tasty. Blue potatoes come in several varieties such as Adirondack blue, Russian Blue, and Vitelotte which favor more of a purple color but are still considered a blue potato. Most blues do favor a purple color.
Picture of the Vitelotte will give you an idea of what to look for if your local grocery happens to have them.
These potatoes are considered a superfood due to being packed with antioxidants. Like the other potatoes you may usually buy they can be boiled, baked, mashed etc. If you are into healthier eating, or just simply like trying new things, give the blue potato a try. They bring excellent color to your plate, and you could intrigue your next dinner guests while also eating healthy at the same time.
