I volunteered at a local organic farm in exchange for fresh produce, and I was given purple potatoes. I wanted to cook something new and use herbs from our garden. Coming from the Midwest, adding vinegar to potato recipes has always been a hit, especially with fries! —Kristin Schultz, Manor, Texas

Roasted Purple Potatoes Tips

How can you make roasted purple potatoes your own?

These roasted purple potatoes are filled with wonderful herbs and spices, but if you want to customize them to suit your taste, switch up the seasonings. Try using your favorite spice blend or a different assortment of fresh herbs.

How else can you cook purple potatoes?

You can also make these roasted purple potatoes in your air fryer if you don't want to fire up the oven. Don't forget to give them a shake about halfway through the cook time, though.
