How to Make Potato And Beet Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and chop 2 lbs russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup sour cream, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
  3. Cook the potatoes: You can boil them until tender (about 15-20 minutes), or roast them in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until tender.
  4. While potatoes are still warm, toss them gently with 1 cup of cooked and diced beets (about 2 medium beets, pre-cooked or roasted). If using beet juice, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of beet juice to add color and flavor.
  5. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, and the dressing to the potatoes and beets. Gently toss to coat.
  6. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
  7. Before serving, top with 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced, and a sprinkle of paprika.
