  I've had a farm share for a number of years, and have eaten a number of different types of potatoes, including two different blue ones.

  I grow them! Stokes Purple. They are the best because they are not as gluey as other types of sweet potato. They even grow in our hot summer weather.

      They have a kind of cool story too, were developed as a replacement crop for tobacco farmers in North Carolina. So easy to propagate. Just let one sprout then put it in a big container of dirt (easier to find them if you grow in a container) and if you get too many don’t sell them, I think they are still under patent.

  Fantastic mashed with a bit of maple syrup. The end result looks like it was artificially colored.

  I’ve never even seen one in person. But maybe, if thats what the purple things in those veggie straw snacks are. I’ve had those. I didn’t like 'em, but I had them before.

  Never seen them, but I’d try one of if I did.

  The closest we have are mini potatoes that come in a tricolor bag including white, red, and blue. But the interior is mostly white

  Yeah, I have eaten Blue Congo potatoes, and they are kinda funny, they react with different foodstuffs, I seem to recall acids making the normally purple potato bright red where the acid touches it.
