6-8 medium potatoes, white flesh, peeled and boiled until tender, drained
1 cup pickled beets, roughly chopped
¾ cup pickled beet juice
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Place the drained potatoes back into the pot in which you boiled them
Using a hand-held potato masher, or a potato ricer, mash the potatoes for this salad as you would if you were making mashed potatoes; no lumps is best!
Add all of the ingredients, but hold back on ¼ cup of the beet juice
Using a large spoon, vigorously mix all of the ingredients together
If the salad is still firm, and if the colour is too pale, add the rest of the beet juice and mix well into the potato mixture
You want to obtain a bright pink colour, yet maintain a mashed potato consistency
Taste for seasoning and sweetness and adjust accordingly
