Purple Potatoes

The Gardener just delivered a bucket of purple potatoes to the kitchen door.  To my eye they look purple, but by all accounts they are called blue.  In any case, they are actually quite lovely.  Right now they are spread out on newspapers drying out.

The steps for preservation of the harvest are pretty straight forward.  Wash.  Spread potatoes out in the shade to dry.

Go on living your life for a day or two.

Check back to see if the potatoes have cured/dried.

Collect the potatoes and bring them into the pantry.

Now that’s my kind of preservation process.
