My proportions may have been off, but it worked! I used 4 medium red potatoes and 4 smallish red beets. Wasn't sure if the egg yolks were supposed to be cooked or raw. I wasn't comfortable with raw eggs, so I used an equal volume of mayo. Because mayo contains eggs, right? I used a little less cream (actually 1/2 and 1/2) and a little extra vinegar. Will add some sliced green onion next time. DH liked it too = it contains beets, 'nuf said! Looking forward to left-overs tomorrow! Oh yeah, I served it over the lettuce and mixed everything up while I was eating. Made for CQ4/2017

This salad was very good and different from the ordinary American potato salad. I really loved the addition of the beets, they added a small sweetness to the tang of the dressing. I ended up making 6 servings so I used 3 beets and I could honestly have use about 6 and it would have been even better. I too rarely make beets and it's a vegetable that we all love, so thank you for giving me an easy way to add them to our diet. The only thing that I think this recipe needed was a little salt and pepper, which I sprinkled on after plating. Thank you Dreamer! Made for team Tasty Testers for the Scandinavian round during ZWT9.

I do love beets & probably don't serve them anywhere near enough, so this recipe really got hold of me! Although I did follow your recipe right on down, I did use unpeeled potatoes because we enjoy the taste & texture they give a recipe like this! Your potato salad is wonderful & we thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
