Yup, the taste is the same. More or less like yukon golds or red skins.
At my grocery store they have the purple ones, but only in little packages of baby "jewel" potatoes. I may try growing my own this year so that I can get larger ones instead of just the babies.
I like using them for the wow factor with company. Make a purple potato salad or mashed or something, maybe with some squid-ink pasta. People get wigged out.
Heh... that'd actually be a pretty crazy dish... squid ink pasta with a green pesto sauce, mashed purple potatoes, and how about some of that orange cauliflower on the side?
