Murasaki Sweet Potatoes are dark purple on the outside, and cream colored on the inside. Eye-catching! When you cut them open, your expectations simply don’t match up with what you’re seeing. They look like a russet, so they should taste like a russet, right? Nope. They’re sweet, through and through, with just a hint of chestnut flavor. They’re a bit fluffy (again, like a russet) and a little less moist than traditional sweet potatoes and yams, but if you’re a sweet potato fan, these will definitely satisfy that craving. They are the same oblong-with-slightly-pointed-ends shape as more traditional varieties, if that helps you make the Murasaki leap. And they look so cool on a plate when they come out of the oven. Serve them with butter for a savory presentation, or go all the way sweet with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
