They don't turn gray, they stay purple! I first discovered them back
around, gosh, 1984? When I was young and one of my cousins sent us a big
box of potatoes for Christmas. (I know, weird present, but we ate potatoes
for weeks.)
My mom made purple mashed potatoes. They were awesome. They stayed purple!
