Purple Potatoes

What do you do with purple potatoes? Make purple potato chips of course! 
I got some purple potatoes at the co-op a few weeks ago and wasn't sure what to do with them. Then I got the inspiration to make purple chips.

I sliced the potatoes on the mandolin and tossed then with olive oil, salt, and pepper and baked them at 400F for 40 - 60 minutes, I'm not really sure just how long, I just checked them when I started to smell roasted potato.
  I tried a new pepper, Trader Joe's Flower Pepper!

The Flower Pepper has black peppercorns, lavender, rose petals, calendula, and cornflower. I don't know that I could really taste any difference, but it was pretty fun seasoning the potatoes with flowers.

They were delicious! 
Why would you ever use regular potatoes again when you could use purple potatoes?
