It is a startling, beautiful presentation.

Garlicky All Blue Potatoes with Lavender
Steam or boil quartered potatoes until fork tender. Drain. Sauté crushed garlic until almost golden in olive oil. Drizzle garlic olive oil over potatoes and add a "goodly" amount of lavender blossoms; toss gently yet thoroughly to combine flavors. Add salt and pepper lightly to taste. Serve immediately.
