There are several varieties of purple potatoes. Ronnigers Potato Farm has both purple-skinned and all-purple (some are called Blue) varieties.

Ob, yes, and these potatoes are soooo good for you. The purple comes from the same antioxidant that makes blueberries puple-blue.
Purple Potatoes also called Blue Potatoes or Delta Blues truly are naturally purple!
Purple Peruvian Potatoes were some of the first potatoes harvested. They were saved for Inca kings.
Used in Mexican cooking, purple potatoes are gaining popularity in the U.S.
They have a naturally creamy flavor and texture and hold their shape well for salads. Perfect for a purple potato salad!
They also Potatoes stay purple once cooked, but not as vibrant as when raw.
Enjoy them!!!

They are simply Purple potatoes or if the restaurant is french perhaps it was Pommes Violette. They are similar to Golden potatoes and very creamy lending themselves well to potato salads and luxury side dishes. Just ask your green Grocer I am sure they can order these for you easily. Good Luck!
