Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium beets
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 0.5 large red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the beets and potatoes thoroughly. Place the beets in a medium pot and the potatoes in a separate pot. Fill both pots with enough water to fully submerge the vegetables.
Bring both pots to boil over medium-high heat. Cook the beets for 30-40 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly. Drain the beets, let them cool, and peel off the skin using a paper towel or by gently rubbing them with your hands.
Once cooled, cut the potatoes and peeled beets into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the potatoes and beets.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the potato and beet mixture. Add the chopped fresh dill and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired. Enjoy!
