Mashed Potatoes With Diced Beets And Sour Cream Recipe

Prepare the Potatoes

Begin by peeling and chopping the potatoes into equal-sized pieces. Place them in a pot of boiling salted water and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Then, drain and return the potatoes to the pot.

Make the Mashed Potatoes

Add butter to the potatoes while they're still hot. Use a potato masher or a handheld mixer to mash the potatoes until they're smooth and creamy. You can adjust the smoothness by adding a little milk or cream if you prefer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the Beets

While the potatoes are cooking, peel and dice the beets into small cubes. In another pot, boil the diced beets until tender, about 15 minutes. Then, drain them and set aside.

Assemble the Dish

Serve the mashed potatoes on a plate, and sprinkle the diced beets over them. Add a dollop of sour cream on top. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired. You can also garnish with fresh herbs like dill or parsley for added flavor.
