I had never heard of purple potatoes until 2016 when Don and I received some in our CSA veggie crate from the local farmer. Don grilled them, along with some zucchini and a couple of Grilled Lamb Chops, and we enjoyed a scrumptious dinner. We both LOVED the potatoes. Creamy on the inside, crispy on the outside. And gorgeous!
I know you're gonna wanna eat these. I know I do.
What You Need
For this recipe, you need a knife, a cutting board, a big bowl, and some kind of basket to use for grilling. Don loves his vegetable grill basket. It makes grilling any veggie so easy. Spray it with a little cooking spray before you add the vegetables and they won't stick.
