Violet Queen potatoes are a unique variety which descended from ancient Peruvian varieties known for their striking purple skin and vibrant violet flesh. These potatoes have a smooth texture and a slightly waxy consistency, making them perfect for boiling, steaming, baking, or even chipping. The flavour is rich and earthy, with a subtle sweetness that complements a wide range of dishes. Their eye-catching colour which is retained when cooked makes them a popular choice for adding visual appeal to meals. Violet Queen potatoes are also packed with antioxidants, adding both nutritional value and aesthetic charm to the plate. They thrive in well-drained soil and are ideal for home gardens.
