Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes skin-on until you can easily slide a toothpick through one.
  2. Slice the cabbage into thin strips and then add them to another pot, along with the milk and salt, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Turn down the heat and simmer until the cabbage is very tender and the milk is a vibrant purple (about 20-25 minutes).
  4. Add baking soda a little bit at a time until the mixture reaches your desired shade of blue. Don't add more than ⅛ teaspoon though as too much will make your mashed potatoes taste metallic. Add the butter and melt.
  5. When the potatoes are tender, mash them.
  6. Add the blue cabbage and milk mixture to the potatoes and stir everything together until the blue mashed potatoes are creamy and uniform in color.
