Preparation of Herring

Begin by cleaning the herring and cutting it into bite-sized pieces. You can choose to either use pickled herring directly from the jar or fresh herring that has been properly seasoned.

Making Mashed Potatoes

Boil the potatoes until they are soft and ready to mash. Drain them, and then add milk or cream and butter to the potatoes while they're still hot. Mash everything together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Preparing the Onion

Peel and finely chop the onion. If you find the taste of raw onion too strong, you can lightly sauté it in a pan with a little bit of butter until it becomes translucent.

Assembling the Salad

In a large mixing bowl, combine the herring pieces, mashed potatoes, and onions. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Garnishing and Serving

Serve the salad in individual bowls or on a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped chives for a touch of color and added flavor.
