Thanksgiving was strictly a tight family affair, with only The Hub,
the kids and I around the table.

There are many dishes that are traditional to this meal - each family
member has a favorite or expected side dish that I do my best to
accommodate.

Well, I really changed something this year....I knew the table setting
would be on a blue cloth and the good china has blue in it, so I
decided to make the mashed potatoes out of blues. They are really
more purplish than blue, sort of like blueberries, but the resulting
bowl of mashed 'taters really blended in well with the setting. We
joked about it.

The taste was no different from "regular" mashed potatoes, and two of
the three kids (not kids, actually, two are 19 and one is 23) got a
big kick out of them. The third offspring was very unhappy and he is
truly the mashed fan. He could not get past the color.

Anyone else ever use these potatoes for making mashed? What reaction
did you get?
