POTATO AND BEET SALAD



Potato and Beet Salad image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium beets
5 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well in salads and won't get mushy.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. Overcooked potatoes will fall apart in the salad.
  • Use high-quality pickled beets: Look for pickled beets that are a deep red color and have a sweet-tart flavor. Avoid beets that are pale or have a sour taste.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Chill the salad before serving: The salad is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to come together and will make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Potato and pickled beet salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
