I actually live in Okinawa and they use those sweet potatoes for absolutely EVERYTHING here! Mostly dessert but the Okinawans are totally obsessed with it. Its pretty cool.

It's small, and uncooked and peeled it has a very darkish purple colour. When cooked it retains it's colour. Next time I see them I plan to serve salmon steaks on a bed of mashed congo potatoes, for the flavour and colour.

I will have to think about making that. Sounds really good. I really like the flavor, it's subtle to me. Glad you guys are settled in now. Julie - I've seen purple potatoes, but I had never seen these (which aren't purple on the outside). They get nice and deep purple when cooked, neato!! Hi Joyce :) – ice cream?!?

They're really stunning! I've seen them before, but I don't think I've ever seen them even more purple than before they were cooked. They look great! Wow! They’re really stunning!
