Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Cut the potatoes

    Peel the 300 g of potatoes and cut them into small cubes about 5 mm wide.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Drop the cubes into a saucepan of boiling water with the pinch of salt and cook them for 5 to 7 min, until tender when poked with the tip of a knife.

  3. Drain and cool

    Drain the potatoes in the colander and let them cool down a bit, spreading them out. Empty the saucepan and rinse it.

  4. Prep the beets

    Peel the skin off the 300 g of cooked beets with the knife, then cut them into 5 mm cubes, like the potatoes.

    Tip · Wear gloves or rinse your hands after cutting: beets stain your fingers and the cutting board.
  5. Season the tartare

    In the mixing bowl, toss the beets, potatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Add half the chives and stir gently.

  6. Poach the eggs

    Fill the clean saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a gentle simmer, no big bubbles. Crack each egg into a cup, slide it into the water and cook it for 3 min: the white should be fully set.

    Tip · Slide the eggs in one at a time into barely simmering water; if it's too hot, it tears the whites.
  7. Plate and serve

    Split the tartare between two plates. Lift the eggs out with the slotted spoon, set one on each plate and sprinkle with the rest of the chives.
