Thursday Menu – Slow Roasted Salmon with Purple Potatoes, Purple Potato Fries
The Purple Cook has purple potatoes! This dinner was simple, yummy, and the purple potatoes made for a fun find at the farmer’s market. My kids just don’t seem to like potatoes – hash browned, mashed, baked, roasted. What is wrong with them? I loved, love, and will continue to love potatoes. The kids did get a real kick out of cutting open the potato and finding a deep purple color, so I made them their own special side dish of purple potato fries for dinner. Yes, like most children they adore a French fry.
