is that they were rather dry and needed a lot of butter. These were an Okinawan variety, in Hawaii and they weren’t quite as purple as yours. I’ve had some home-grown ones here (grown from grocery store ones) by a better gardener and cook than I am, and they were sweeter and not as dry

Expect some color changes when you cook them
