Purple hash.

Yes and no... When roasted, they brown darker than a red or Yukon.
When peeled, they'll stain your hands, sink, and counter purple
but also leach the color into the stew. They don't turn "white"
(or not that I've noticed) so they don't revert to a natural
color. And when mashed, they'll definitely lighten in color --
like you added a couple drops of food coloring.
