I want to grow those. I've grown for the first time some sprouting old potatoes and so far they are a doing well. Yours look very exotic. Hope they taste good. Mine won't be harvested for a couole of months.

I've got those as well! They're just bucket spuds on my deck but I'm excited. I'm up north so they won't be ready until September I reckon.
@CountScrofula i could have waited until september.. probably should have but they were the last thing in that section of my garden and I got impatient. Now all that i have left growing is my tomatoes and carolina reapers

I've seen those multi colored potatoes at the grocery store! Would make for some very interesting mashed potatoes!! How cool!!

What other cons & pros these GM potatoes have for health? There can be many health risks for genetically modified vegetables.

Variety? What did you grow.....hardiness....storage longevity.....more.
@Freeranger these are "Purple Magesty" its a midseason crop, harvest from chitted is about 2 months or 3 months if straight to soil after last frost. Mulch deeply to keep early and late blights back and watch for signs of verticillum wilt. Zones 3 through 9.. basically everywhere. Storage for potatoes is a complicated subject. Everyone has their own methods. Depends on how many you plant and your climate/ housing

Can you make purple french fries???

@VampireOfDesire so i did make some home fries, when you crisp up the skins and exposed sides, they turn brown. The inside stayed a blueish purple though.

unreal colors
@plungesponge quite real. You can thank the anthocyanins, peonidin and malvidi for their color realness.. and their antioxidant boost!
Coooooolll ☺️
