Sposób przygotowania

Krok po kroku

1. 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.

   Około 1 godz.

   Wskazówka kucharza: Boiling vegetables separately prevents the beets from coloring the other vegetables.

2. 2

   Once cooked, let the vegetables cool completely. Peel them, then grate each vegetable separately using the coarse side of a grater.

   Około 15 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Cooling vegetables before grating makes them easier to handle and prevents the salad from becoming mushy.

3. 3

   Arrange the diced herring evenly on the bottom of a serving platter or a deep dish.

8. 8

   Spread the remaining grated potatoes, then another thin layer of mayonnaise.

9. 9

   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.

   Około 3 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: The top layer of mayonnaise acts as the 'fur coat' and should be smooth and even.

    Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
