Blue potatoes are a waxy variety, they are not for mashing, baking or fries. they do better as a cubed potatoe in salads or as a scalloped potatoe with sauce. Hope this helps.

I always thought they were the dry fluffy kind. The red and yukon gold are much more waxy/thin skinned. Blue potatoes have these annoying thick skins. I have seen recipes for potato salad with them but I do not like cold potatoes. I think I will do just roasted new potatoes with them. They are sort of like models; pretty to look at but not much good for anything. ![[Roll Eyes]](im/rolleyes.gif)
