POTATO & BEETROOT SALAD ( CYPRUS DISH )

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes or thin slices.
• To boil fresh beetroot, the roots are placed in a pan of lightly salted water, covered and simmered for between 45 minutes and two hours, depending on their size. Small beets and minibeet varieties may cook in as little as 30 minutes. Large mature roots may take at least two hours to cook. After boiling, beetroot can be refreshed in cold water, which also cools them enough for the skins to be easily removed. Peel them and cut into small pieces. You can use pickled beetroot if you like.
• Add the chopped spring onion and sliced eggs.
• Mix these ingredients together and add the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar and salt.
• Serve with feta cheese or cottage cheese.
