Beet And Potato Salad

This was an experiment that turned out well. Our garden produced lots of beets this year and I was looking for a new way to use them. Since we like them with mayonnaise, I thought maybe a non-traditional kind of salad.

4 medium beets
2 large red potatoes
2 T mayonnaise
1 T prepared yellow mustard

Fill a large pot with water, and add beets. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook for about 30 minutes. Add potatoes to the water, and continue to cook until everything both beets and potatoes are soft, about 30 minutes more. Drain, and let the vegetables cool until cool enough to handle. Cut into cubes, and place them in a bowl. Stir in mayonnaise and mustard until well coated. Serve either warm or cold.
