Swap out the mayo based, creamy potato salads for this easy and colorful version! Bringing color and flavor to your plate with tricolor fingerling, red russet and baby purple potatoes. Perfect to bring out on July 4th this summer!
Why add purple potatoes in this recipe? Well first of all, it's a fun color! But more importantly, the major difference is the antioxidant content - purple potatoes have 4 times the amount of antioxidants than white russet potatoes. Anthocyanin is the pigment that creates the purple color and is what acts as an antioxidant to fight off damaging free radicals. Get your dose of anthocyanin from blueberries, plums, beets or here with purple potatoes!
