Ingredients

20 servings

•

3 whole russet potatoes
•

2 large carrots, peeled
•

2 beets, washed with tops and bottoms removed
•

½ yellow onion, chopped

•

1 (12 ounce) jar herring fillets, packed in oil
•

6 tablespoons mayonnaise
•

salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook potatoes, carrots, and beets in boiling water until cooked but still firm, 15 to 20 minutes for potatoes, 25 to 30 minutes for carrots, and 40 minutes for beets. Allow each to cool to the touch before further handling. Remove and discard skins from potatoes and beets. Shred potatoes, carrots, and beets, keeping them separate.
Arrange about half the onions and half the herring fillets in a layer in the bottom of a bowl. Cover the layer with about half of grated potatoes, then a layer of about half the carrots, and finally about half the beets. Spread about 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise over salad; season with salt and pepper. Repeat layers in the same order to finish building salad. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour. Serve cold.
