The skins just slip right off. I toss them with a little butter and salt and eat warm. I usually save some for later and eat them cold.

My mom made a beet salad by boiling the beets until tender, peeling and then grating them. She would then fry up a couple diced slices of good bacon and add that with the bacon fat to the beets, along with vinegar, finely chopped raw onion and salt and pepper.
