- Peel the potatoes (or leave some skin on if you prefer) and add them to a pot of boiling water with a little bit of sea salt.
- Cook on medium or medium low for about 10 minutes, until tender.
- While the new potatoes are cooking, cut your beets in halves or quarters. Then add to your pot and simmer for a few minutes more.
