These purple mashed potatoes have a wonderfully rich and creamy texture and burst with flavor - They're easy to make and always a crowd fave!

Place the purple potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
Once the potatoes are ready, drain them in a colander, peel them, and pass them through a food mill or a potato ricer.
Meanwhile, warm the milk until hot, cover and set aside.
Place the potatoes in a large bowl, add in softened butter and stir with a rubber spatula until it reaches a flufflier consinstency.
Slowly pour the warmed milk in, and continue to stir the potatoes until reaching the desired texture.
Season the purple mashed potatoes with salt, and transfer them to a warm serving bowl.

Do not overmix the mashed potatoes - The more you work mashed potatoes, the gluier they become because more starch is released.

If your potatoes go cold, heat them up again (in warm water, or in a microwave) and then proceed to mash them.

Leftover mashed potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
