Tips

To toast fennel seeds: Heat small skillet on medium heat 2 minutes. Add fennel seeds: cook 1 minute or until seeds are fragrant, shaking pan constantly. Immediately remove seeds from skillet to avoid over-toasting.

Test Kitchen Tip: Purple potatoes are small to medium sized and taste similar to russets. They have a dark brownish-violet, thin skin and a bright purple flesh that fades with cooking.
