Fremgangsmåde
Trin for trin
- 1
Boil the potatoes, carrots, and beets in separate pots until tender. This will take about 20-30 minutes for carrots and potatoes, and 40-60 minutes for beets.
Ca. 1 t.
Kokkens note: Boiling vegetables separately prevents the beets from coloring the other vegetables.
- 2
Once cooked, let the vegetables cool completely. Peel them, then grate each vegetable separately using the coarse side of a grater.
Ca. 15 min.
Kokkens note: Cooling vegetables before grating makes them easier to handle and prevents the salad from becoming mushy.

Arrange the diced herring evenly on the bottom of a serving platter or a deep dish.
Ca. 2 min.
- 4
Spread the finely chopped yellow onion over the herring layer.
Ca. 1 min.
- 5
Gently spread half of the grated potatoes over the onion layer. Lightly season with salt and pepper if desired.
Ca. 2 min.
- 6
Evenly spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over the potato layer.
Ca. 1 min.
- 7
Add all of the grated carrots as the next layer, followed by another thin layer of mayonnaise.
Ca. 2 min.
- 8
Spread the remaining grated potatoes, then another thin layer of mayonnaise.
Ca. 2 min.

Top with the grated beets, pressing gently to form an even layer. Cover the entire beet layer generously with the remaining mayonnaise, ensuring all sides are covered.
Ca. 3 min.
Kokkens note: The top layer of mayonnaise acts as the 'fur coat' and should be smooth and even.
