Violet Queen potatoes

Potatoes from the grocery store here in Quebec are delicious.  But I couldn't resist a bag of sprouting Violet Queen potatoes at a local nursery.  I love deep purple potatoes and often they don't have purple flesh, just purple skins. 

But this variety promised both.  And I have an abundance of old hay to hill them up with.  There were two more bags at the nursery, but I will resist getting them, too.  I'm going to have more than enough vegetables and fruits without too many potatoes, too.  

And I should also mention I acquired red onion sets, too.  We'll eat them as fresh young onions, I rationalized.
