Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 - 2 lb (680 - 900 g) potatoes ((see notes))
2 tablespoons olive oil, (divided)
4 medium beets
1 large shallot or 1/4 small onion, (minced)
1 cup green peas, ((see notes))
1 cup sweet corn, ((see notes))
1/2 cup queso fresco, (crumbled (optional))
1 cup mayonnaise, (or more to taste (I used eggless homemade mayo))
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon fresh dill (and some more for garnish (optional))
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot. Fill the pot with cold water until it is 1 inch over the top of the potatoes. Set the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, about 15 - 20 minutes. Drain. When warm, remove the loose peels and chop the potatoes into 1/2-inch chunks. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to cover. Set aside.
  • Cook the beets over medium heat for 45- 60 minutes, or until fork-tender in a separate pot. The cooking time will depend on the size of the beets. Drain and let them cool slightly. Peel and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. When still warm, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to cover. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, dill, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust salt, if necessary.
  • Mix cooked potatoes, beets, shallot, green peas, and corn in a large bowl. Gently mix in the dressing until it coats the potatoes well.
  • Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. If you have time to make it ahead, it tastes even better the next day!
  • Just before serving, garnish with more fresh dill and crumbled queso fresco, if desire.

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.

Categories     Onions

Time 45m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup white vinegar (or use the juice from the pickled beets for more vibrant color)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh horseradish
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1 cup mayonnaise (adding more after tossing with salad ingredients for more creaminess if desired)
5 lbs new potatoes, boiled, peeled and cubed
1 (15 ounce) jar pickled beets, drained and diced
1 red onion, diced fine
1 small green pepper, diced fine
1 stalk celery, diced fine
6 eggs, boiled and diced
1 hard-boiled egg, sliced
paprika (smoked is really good)

Steps:

  • Mix all salad dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Toss remaining ingredients into the large bowl with dressing, toss to coat.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour overnight is best.
  • Top with sliced egg and sprinkle paprika.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or New Potatoes hold their shape better and won't absorb as much dressing.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are just tender but not falling apart.
  • Dice the potatoes while they are still warm so they can absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the potato salad so you don't break up the potatoes.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs or vegetables for a pop of color and flavor.
