Did you know that girls may have more clothes but boys create more laundry? I am certain this is true based on both my experience and the number of folks who gave an ‘Amen’ on Facebook.
Some other comments I received were:
*Word.
*I SWEAR it’s dirty as soon as I hang it. They just have to walk by.
*Imagine 4 of them.
*So true!!
*Don’t I know it!
*Agree 100%..I have two girls and one boy and my son creates more than half the laundry in our house
*Try having THREE!!!!!!!!
Why am I telling you this? Well, I am not sure but let’s see what I can come up with………………Oh! because purple potatoes make purple juice when you cut them and it might stain. Convincing?
You know we are already purple potato fans (recall the video?) so when Dole asked me to create a healthy purple potato recipe I was all like ‘You were reading my mind fabulous peeps from Dole’. Sign up for the Dole newsletter and grab yourself some more healthy recipes!

This is such a beautiful dish, Jennifer. Love the color of those purple potatoes. And I can assure that, with two boys in the house, I am constantly doing laundry.

I tried purple potatoes for the first time this year from the farmers’ market and now I love them. They have almost a cocoa-y flavor to them.

So pretty! I just love purple potatoes! I bet my 4 year old girl could give any boy a run for their money. She changes outfits 5 times a day if I let her.
