Ingredients:
- 5 medium beets, peeled and coarsely shredded

- 1 large potato, peeled and grated
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil (any neutral oil)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Beets: Start by peeling the beets. Use a food processor to shred the beets coarsely. This will save you time and effort compared to grating them by hand. Transfer the shredded beets to a large mixing bowl.
-
Grate the Onion and Potato: Peel and grate the onion and potato. Add these grated vegetables to the bowl with the beets, mixing them together well.
-
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the oil, white vinegar, brown sugar, water, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
-
Combine and Mix: Pour the prepared sauce over the shredded vegetable mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure that the vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.
-
Prepare for Baking: Lightly grease a 1-quart (1 liter) casserole dish. Transfer the vegetable mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Bake the Dish: Cover the casserole dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Place it in a preheated oven set to 350°F (180°C). Bake for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice during the cooking time to ensure even baking.
-
Serve and Enjoy: After 30 minutes, check the dish for tenderness. The beets should be soft and the flavors well melded. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
