Beet potato salad recipes?

Pretty simple.....cook potatoes and mash with some miracle
whip. Mash some beets and add to the potatoes, add a little
of the juice to make the colour darker. Add whatever spices
you like, I'd only add salt and onion powder. Of course
there are probably many different variations.

Anyone have a good innovative recipe for beet potato
salad? I could search recipe sites for some but would
rather get direct recommendations. Of course I will also
glance in cookbooks and perhaps recipes web sites, and may
ask my chef brother (that last may be the easiest). Or I
could improvise one, like borscht so with beet and sour
cream and some spice and with lots of potato too.

For those on nf.general , I'd love to know a few different
traditional Newfoundland recipes espeially since beets and
potatos are staple local crops.

I also asked about this just now on moderated groups
rec.food.recipes and rec.food.veg.cooking (the second more
for vegan variants) but since those are moderated my posts
there would show up a bit later than this one.

Can't help with the innovative part, but here is a very
tasty version of the Russian 'vinegret'. I have recently
witnessed one Barb Schaller delectating over a much
inferior, though even beetier, version, so draw your own
conclusions.

Vinegret

2-3 medium-sized beets, cooked (preferably baked) and diced
4-5 potatoes, cooked and diced 2 salty, not vinegary,
cucumbers (pickles), diced 1 onion, finely chopped 1 carrot,
diced sunflower oil and vinegar for dressing, or,
alternatively, sour cream salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, taking care not to break up
the diced vegetables. Add oil and a little vinegar to taste.
Serve cold.

Some recipes call for adding hard-boiled eggs, cold meats or
chicken, or finely chopped herring. I prefer the above
version, though.

All I can see is pink salad that's not Jell-o. Eeeww. That's
a terrible thing to do to potatoes.

Beet cabbage salad

6-8 cups of shredded cabbage 2 apples chopped up 1 cup of
fresh or frozen peas Mayo to taste Chopped beet and juice to
taste Lemon juice Pepper ground and a little mint

Mmmmmmm....

That's the one I would use - the more beet juice the better.

I've been thinking about a key lime chicken pot pie
recipe lately.

It involves lime jello, cream cheese, cool whip pured over
some chicken and rice...

Does that help?

Help what? The thought that a beet and potato salad would be
palatable? No.

Don't listen to Barb. She's a beet hater from way back. I
have to admit, she gave me an unpleasant mental image with
the Jell-o ;(

I always heard they're good for your blood - folic acid and

heh heh...

If you haven't noticed by now, this is not a beet friendly
town. Even beet recipes that have been posted here a jillion
times are not likely to be offered up by the long entrenched
"better dead than red" crowd. But, I just happen to have
what you seek. Follow this link:

....and read the whole thread, as I elaborate on details in
subsequent post.

Neener, neener, Barb! 😉

Your conclusion won't stand, because I can supply no fewer
than three witnesses of said delectation in addition to moi
même, as you well know. Eating vinegret made you so happy
that you at once started to sing the old Soviet anthem in
original Russian - with a lot of feeling, too. I remember
telling you to slow down a bit.

It doesn't much matter how it sounds to you, for it only
proves that the one who is hallucinating is you, silly
Queenie. It matters how that vinegret *looks* - and it looks
purple. And the one that delighted you so much was purple
also, as any self-respecting Russian vinegret ought to be,
unless disguised with dairy. So there!

I adore beets but yeah, they do "bleed" all over the
place....

In Prague years ago I had a "Russky Salat" made with
herring, onions, potatoes, and beets with a mayo
dressing...it was delish but the pinkish color *was*
kinda weird.

I suppose one could use those golden beets if they're
available...???

Bubba, yer getting off track here. You and I will NEVER see
eye to eye about the beet thing. Gandhi couldn't make it
happen. My remarks early on in this thread were to convey
the thought that a combinaton of red beets and white
potatoes would, by virtue of the strength of the beet color,
render the resulting mixture a disgusting shade of pink. I
understand pink gelatin salad things, but not vegetable
salads. Get it?

You already did, at G's place. A great performance it was,
too, with not even a beetroot or a raspberry vodka in sight.
However, next time make it "jablo*n*i", "apple trees", will
