 Golden Beet and Potato Salad

 

The addition of beets and watercress adds a new twist to potato salad...
 

1 lb 

 

golden beets (1¾" wide, greens trimmed before weighing)

 

1 lb 

 

red potatoes (1¼" wide, scrubbed and cut in half)

 

2 Tbs 

 

sour cream

 

2 Tbs 

 

mayonnaise

 

1 Tbs 

 

rice vinegar

 

2 Tbs 

 

finely chopped red onion

 

2 Tbs 

 

chopped fresh parsley

 

1 Tbs 

 

prepared horseradish

 

1 clove 

 

garlic, minced

 

 

 

salt and pepper to taste

 

8 oz 

 

watercress

 

 

 

crumbled browned bacon

 

 

1

In a 6 quart pan over high heat, bring 3 quarts of water to boil. Add beets, reduce heat to medium-high, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Add potatoes to the beets, cover again, and cook until both are
tender when pierced, about 10 minutes longer. Drain and let cool.
Peel beets, then slice into ¼"-thick half-moons.

2

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, onion, parsley, horseradish, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix dressing into the cooled potatoes.

3

Rinse watercress. Pick tender sprigs from tough stems and cut into
3-4" lengths. Arrange sprigs on a platter. Top with potatoes, then arrange beets over mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
