Mhmmm... couldn't resist to take a picture.
Home-grown potatoe mash and not a food colouring in sight. Honestly!

Just can't get my head around spuds that aren't white fleshed, don't know why as in other veggies I like to experiment with different colours but the sight of your mash makes me feel a bit queasy for some reason
Which varieties did you grow by the way?
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be? -
Hehe, I have made rainbow chips too! They were even better!
I grew Highland Burgundy Red with a fantastic harvest.
And Congo, even if they didn't have just as many spuds. Still good.http://onegardenersadventures.blogspot.com/ updated 10-03-2010 with homebrew pics & allotment picsComment

How fab, Tiachia - even better when the potatoes keep their colour after cooking! All my exciting ones went grey in the pot!Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment

Hi Jeanie,
I steamed them. I didn't dare boil them!
Even the chips, I steamed them first and then deep-fried.
I think that's what helped them retain their colour.http://onegardenersadventures.blogspot.com/ updated 10-03-2010 with homebrew pics & allotment picsComment

A few years ago I grew white beetroot instead of red, they didn't bleed, but its a weird in built mechanism that tells you its all wrong, even though they tasted fab. One day we did indeed have beetroot mash OH didn't realise what they were, and mistook them for potatoes (don't ask!).I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.Comment

I bet kids would like to eat coloured mash but I'm another one who feels a bit queasy if it's not white/cream!
I'm not keen either on the potatoes that are purple/blue & have a blue/ring inside on the cream flesh, they just look like they're going off to me. Can't eat blue cheese either as it just looks like mould.
Mikey, what did the mash taste like? Beetroot?

I was persuaded to try a small piece of 'Smelly Apeth' blue cheese at the weekend Alison & at first I thought it wasn't too bad but all afternoon I had a horrible aftertaste of it & at night I felt a bit nauseous! I think a lot of it is 'in my head' though because of the appearance of it , like Tiachica's blue mash it just doesn't feel right when I'm eating it!

I can't get on with blue cheese either Sue, but I wouldn't mind a taste of the blue mash.Granny on the Game in SheffieldComment

I'm growing a black potato, someone on here sent me. Interesting to try it as a mash, me and my DD can't wait.Originally posted by tiachica View Post
BTW I like the look of your ham.Last edited by womble; 13-08-2010, 12:42 PM."Orinoco was a fat lazy Womble"
Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.Comment

I don't eat mash, a hangover reaction from school dinners (somehow cottage pie doesn't count as mash, and clapshot is nice too...)
The colours wouldn't bother me, just the mashedness....Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

That would have been great for when DD went through her fussy phaze...I'd give her mashed potato in an icecream cone...she nearly always got to the end before sussing it wasn't icecream.
If I want pink mash I just cook it with a bit of beetroot.
Never liked the thought of the black spuds...they look blighted.the fates lead him who will;him who won't they drag.
