The best potato salad is pink. This pink potato salad can be found on many Haitian and Dominican tables, as it is a staple in their culinary landscape. Whether you know it as ensalada rusa or salade russe, this potato salad gets its vibrant magenta hue from the cooked beets. Building your dressing first is a good tip for ensuring all flavors will be well-incorporated and equally distributed throughout your salad. Be sure to decrease your flame to a low simmer while cooking your potatoes to keep them tender and intact. This potato salad is best made the night before and can be kept covered and refrigerated for up to four days.
