A simple glaze makes this Cider-Glazed Pork Loin with Roasted Apples and Potatoes recipe a perfect weeknight dinner… but it’s also good enough for a special Sunday meal, too.

Do Purple Potatoes Taste Different Than Russet Potatoes?

While both are members of the solanum tuberosum species, purple potatoes contain higher levels of anthocyanins, which gives them their vibrant color. These anthocyanins also happen to contribute to a slightly nuttier, earthier, and almost slightly sweet taste in comparison to russet potatoes. Outside of the taste, the texture can vary a little as well. Purple potatoes tend to have a firmer texture which makes them great for roasting with our pork loin.
