Default Purple potatoes

We've had them several times in bags of new potatoes with red
[skinned], white, yellow, and purple potatoes.

Monday night I noticed some bad potatoes in the bag, and was already
committed to mashed potatoes, so I tossed them in the pot. 5-6
pounds of potatoes- about 1 pound was purple.

I didn't say anything, just served the purple streaked mashed
potatoes. I can't win. Trying to get a rise out these folks and
all I got was 'Is that garlic and chives?'.<g>

I'm not a big potato fan by any stretch, but they work for me just
because they are different.

Here's a bit more about them with several varieties mentioned;
