From the Test Kitchen

In this recipe, we’re serving crispy-skinned chicken over a hearty sauté of purple potatoes, Granny Smith apple and kale. Purple potatoes (popular throughout South America) add gorgeous color and deeper flavor to the savory-sweet sauté, which gets a mild kick from whole grain mustard. To round out our elegant meal, we’re topping it all off with a simple, delicious pan sauce.
