4 ways through a glut of blue potato, ready July to August. Sides, mains, preserves for the ones you can't eat fast enough.

Blue Potato and Leek Frittata

A striking frittata layered with roasted blue potato slices and silky braised leeks, bound by a light egg custard and finished with goat cheese. The potato's deep violet colour bleeds beautifully into the egg, creating a unique purple-marbled appearance. Equally good warm from the skillet or at room temperature the next day.

Blue Potato Hash with Fried Egg

A stunning breakfast hash of crushed blue potatoes crisped in a cast-iron skillet with caramelized onions, roasted red pepper, and smoked paprika. Topped with a perfectly fried egg, this is a weeknight dinner or weekend brunch that gets its colour from the potato and its depth from the cast-iron char.

Blue Potato Soup with Chive Oil

A startlingly beautiful velvety soup made entirely from blue potatoes blended with vegetable broth, sautéed shallots, and a touch of white wine. The colour is a deep slate-violet that holds through blending. A swirl of bright green chive oil on top creates a dramatic contrast that will silence any dinner table.
