My 3yo wanted purple mash potatoes, it didn’t really work because I used yellow potatoes. Then my 3yo decided she didn’t want potatoes so my wife and I were stuck eating prison gruel.
i've worked a significant time of my life in kitchens, never came i across purple mashed potato.
i've seen it in hells kitchen, i guess, and assumed, that they use normal potatos and add some "color"
now i had to search and found purple potatoes. you said your's were yellow. this means your potatoes were partly purple?
sorry, stupid german here.
gonna leave one of my favorite foods here, kinda looks like your mashed potatoes. labskaus:

They used food dye on yellow potatoes and created a crime against humanity and potatoes.
This is correct 🤦♂️
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 purple roasties come out purple as. Could maybe adapt to a mash without boiling but would need to run them through a ricer or something
Oh yeah, great purple colour when baked or fried.
Boiled, not so much ;)
These exist. They are best baked, boiled, or made into chips/crisps.
They turn up in fingerling medleys quite a bit in the us and are great roasted too. https://www.hollandbulbfarms.com/spring-planting-bulbs/vegetables/fingerling-potatoes/magic-molly-organic-fingerling-potatoes
just wait 'til tomorrow
The Hawaiian sweet potatoe we get in Australia is great for mash, and purple...
