Midnight Pearl
Type
Starchy
Description
A fingerling potato with large finger-like tubers. These have deep purple skin and a deep purple flesh that maintains its colour when cooking. They have a creamy texture and slightly nutty flavour.
Origins
Australia 2014
Uses
They can be used in almost any application. They can be roasted, boiled or mashed. Their starchiness lends itself to gnocchi, but I would like to showcase their nuttiness in a soup.
I Have Used
I used these in the roast potato medley to provide another colour. I noticed that when I parboiled with bi-carb, they went blue, but they went back to a deep purple when roasted. I have also used them for their colour as mashed potatoes on the seafood pie, shepherd's pie and meatloaf cupcakes.
