Purple Potatoes

Potatoes that match my blog color! How could I have let them stay in my plate without taking a picture and post it here? 

Fork-crushed purple potatoes
Recipe found here (I'm so jalous! the color of their potatoes is so unbelievably purple) and adapted from New York Magazine

Ingredients

1 pound Purple Majesty or other purple potatoes, washed
4 small shallots, minced
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
6 tablespoons good extra-virgin olive oil (we used half, and it was plenty for us)
Fleur de sel to taste
White pepper to taste
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped


Method
In a large pot, cook potatoes with skins on in heavily salted boiling water until tender, approximately 15 minutes. Remove potatoes from pot, and peel them while still warm. Place potatoes in a large bowl and, using a fork, gently smash them, maintaining a fairly chunky consistency. Fold in minced shallots, lemon juice, olive oil, fleur de sel, and white pepper. Finish with parsley.
