We love Swiss Purple potatoes and used them for this Roasted Purple Potatoes Recipe that was created for a live Christmas Cooking Show on Instagram. You can replay it on IGTV (link here). The whole menu consists of an Aubergine and Mushroom Wellington including a Mustard Creamy Sauce, of this Roasted Purple Potatoes and of Burnt Brussels Sprouts. The menu celebrates winter local vegetables using festive ingredients like puff pastry and a mustard creamy sauce. Despite being a vegan menu, the whole family will be happy to try and discover new flavours. I hope you will enjoy cooking this menu with your family and friends.
