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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Once cooled, cut the potatoes and peeled beets into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the potatoes and beets.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the potato and beet mixture. Add the chopped fresh dill and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a side dish, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired. Enjoy!
