Salad Blue Potatoes

Salad Blue Potatoes have dark blue skin, blue flesh and mild flavour.

They are halfway between waxy and floury. The longer they are stored, the more floury they become.

The potato keeps its flesh colour when sautéed.

Cooking Tips

Good for chips (aka French Fries.) Okay mashed, but when mashed the colour is more the attraction than the texture.

Okay boiled for salad if they haven’t been in storage long otherwise they can fall apart during boiling.

Storage Hints

In storage, the potato can develop blight.

 

History Notes

Salad Blue Potatoes were developed circa the beginning of the 1900s.
