Think all potatoes are created equal? Unlike their white and yellow cousins, blue potatoes are full of carotenoids and anthocyanin, pigments that give them a vibrant, ruby color—and a bump of extra antioxidants (we’re talking four times more than the meager Russet), plus other healthy benefits. The steamed kale creates a delicious savory balance with the starchy potato, while the sweet carrots bring a measured sweetness—and tons of vitamin A.
Make this recipe when you’ve got some spare time on the weekends (like today), and enjoy the leftovers well into the middle of the week. To make sure that happens, we advise putting some immediately into Tupperware before you tuck in.
