Preparation
Peel beets and grate coarsely. Place into 8 qt. pot with water to cover. Add peeled and diced potatoes and onions. Bring to a boil, then lower flame to simmer until soft (approx. 1 hour). Add lemon juice. Beat eggs well in a second big pot. Pour in borscht in a slow stream, beating constantly to prevent curdling of eggs. Serve warm or cold.
