Ingredients
  

  • 2½ pounds Beets.
  • 1 Potato.
  • 3 tbsp Butter.
  • Lemon. Half
  • Salt. To taste

Instructions
 

Let's get into the details on how to make these ooey-gooey and smooth as ever Beets:

  • Cooking the beets takes time, so to start, pour some water in a pan, enough for the Beets to be dipped in properly
  • Cut the lemon in half and squeeze half of it in the pot and save the other half for later.
  • Now add in your beets and potato and let them boil until soft and tender. Check with a fork or a knife.
  • Once the beets and potatoes are boiled, take them off the heat, strain the water, and let them sit under cold water for a minute to cool them down slightly.
  • Keep the aside for 10 minutes to let them cool down a little.
  • After they have cooled down, remove the skin of both beets and potatoes. Chop the beets and potatoes into little cubes.
  • This is where your food processor is the hero. Throw your beets and potato cubes in the processor. Let the food processor do its thing and mash up both the veggies real quick.
  • Once done, you will get a puree texture.
  • Add in your butter and salt and blend again until you get a smooth puree.
  • If you want a thick consistency, then you end your work here, but if you want it to be a little thin, you can add a dash of milk, and that should do the job for you.
  • Voila! Your delicious and fresh puree is ready.
