Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma made this dish more often after she got a food processor. She cut the large vegetables, such as the potatoes and rutabagas, into chunks small enough to fit in the food tube, then let the food processor do the slicing. She sliced the beet last so all the other vegetables would not turn pink.
