POTATO AND BEET SALAD
Every Easter my Mom would make this potato salad. This is not exactly hers but my version. Don't wait for Easter make it for your next picnic! Do use new potatoes if you like them firm but I myself like my potatoes soft so I find myself using russets, and if you don't want a precise cut salad with firm potatoes use russet. I find myself rough cutting the russets potatoes because they do fall apart and add to the creaminess of the dressing. FYI-You can toss the cubed, cooked, still warm, potatoes with the vinegar or beet juice and let set till cool even up to over night. Then add remaining ingredients.

BEET AND POTATO SALAD
This is a better version of a ubiquitous salad found in takeout shops all over France. Salade Russe, as it is called, is a mayonnaise-dressed mixture of potatoes, diced carrots, peas and other vegetables, but usually not beets. Yogurt vinaigrette stands in for mayonnaise here.

Steps:
- Place the beets in a saucepan with water, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the beets, peel, and halve or quarter.
- Place the sugar in a skillet and add a little water so that it looks like wet sand. Bring to a boil, and then simmer to evaporate the water out. When the sugar begins to color, remove it from the heat so that the sugar will not spatter and gently whisk in the vinegar. Return to the heat and thicken to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the stove and stir in the horseradish. Whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss the beets with the sauce and the parsley and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, hold their shape well in potato salad, while starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, tend to fall apart.
- Cook the potatoes properly: Boiling the potatoes in salted water is the most common method, but you can also roast or microwave them. Just be sure to cook them until they are tender but not mushy.
- Cool the potatoes completely: This will help prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
- Use a variety of ingredients: In addition to potatoes, potato salad can include a variety of other ingredients, such as hard-boiled eggs, celery, onion, carrots, pickles, and bacon. Feel free to get creative and use your favorite ingredients.
- Dress the potato salad properly: The dressing is what really brings potato salad to life. Mayonnaise is the most common base for potato salad dressing, but you can also use sour cream, yogurt, or a vinaigrette. Be sure to season the dressing to taste.
- Serve the potato salad chilled: Potato salad is best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
