Andie's Kitchen: Purple Potato Shepard's Pie

Purple Potatoes

Have you ever had a purple potato? 

They are very similar to the typical brown russet potato, but they are purple inside and out. The color is produced by anthocyanin which is powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants can aid in cancer prevention, anti-inflammation, and anthocyanin in particular is thought to increase blood sugar metabolism.

Purple potatoes are slightly more expensive that most potatoes at the grocery store. I believe they were $3.99/lb. I tell you, though, they are worth it.

I decided to make a traditional potato recipe with the purple potatoes... Shepard's Pie!

Shepard's pie is simple, comprised of 4 basic layers. The first layer is browned ground beef, followed by peas, then mashed potatoes, topped with a melted cheese layer.

To make mashed potatoes I boiled the purple potatoes until they were soft. Then I drained them and returned them to the pot. Afterward add butter, cream cheese, and a bit of milk. Then I added a pinch of garlic, sea salt, and fresh cracked pepper.

I know that this photo does not demonstrate the full beauty of the purple potato Shepard's pie, but in my defense it is difficult to photograph a layered structure like that. But, know that it was very delicious indeed.

Inspirations:My New Year's Resolution

Hey everyone! This year I have decided to raise $300,000 for the building of the Jessica House, even if it requires me to ask 300,000 people to donate $1 each!

You can check out more on why this is so important to me and how you can get involved at

My Go Fund Me Page (<--- Click here)

But, truly I feel like God has put it on my heart to be an advocate for those who don't have voices that can be heard. There are women and children suffering from this horrendous industry and we need to do every little thing we can do to help them. By building this house we are spreading God's kingdom, taking the Gospel into the dark places, sharing Jesus with the forgotten. Your contribution no matter how small can contribute to God's kingdom.

Pray about it, if God is pressing on your heart to support  freeing women and children who have been in sexual bondage, giving them a chance at eternal life with a Savior and redemption on Earth, then please donate more than $1. But, God sees all generosity do not feel like your $1 cannot do anything because God can multiply it. Let's be a force to be reckoned with, give the Devil a fright. If we come together like an army of ants, we're unstoppable - all working together. Your one dollar can be a part of that!

I'm excited to see the fruition of God's plan and how He involves you! Please share in the comments below about how God has moved you to care about people you've never met :)

I pray that God will take over this Resolution and Campaign, that every bit be for His glory. In Jesus' precious, holy, unstoppable name. AMEN John 14:14 - claiming the promises.
