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.

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.

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.

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.

Delectating? My conclusion is yer hallucinatin' again, Bubba. And
making up words.
It still sounds disgustingly pink to me.

I always heard they're good for your blood - folic acid and all that.
And that salad request still sounds disgustingly pink to me.

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.

And
making up words.

Which ones?

It still sounds disgustingly pink to me.

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...???
