How To Make Beet and Potato Salad

Beet and Potato Salad.

Boil beets as usual, slip off the skins, and cut in rather thick slices, then, while still warm, put them in a vinegar bath slightly salted and sweetened. Leave them in the vinegar a few hours, or until the beets have become pleasantly acid. Prepare mashed potatoes, using plenty butter and just enough milk, then arrange on a platter with lettuce leaves, alternately, slices of the beets with layers of the mashed potatoes.
