There are several options for preparing the salad "Herring under a fur coat". Some add apples to it, while others marinate onions.
There are many options, but the main secret of the dish is in the order of alternating salads. This is the order considered, if not correct, then the best.
Most often, housewives put potatoes as the first layer. Not everyone agrees with this.
First layer
Try putting herring first. It is best to buy herring in pieces or whole and cut it into fillets.
Second layer
You will need onions, and they say the more the better. Chop them finely. If the onion is bitter, you can scald it with boiling water.
Third layer
Boiled potatoes. They are cut into cubes.
Fourth layer
Next add the boiled carrots. Grate on a coarse grater.
Fifth layer
The last layer of the salad is boiled grated beets and mayonnaise on top.
Many cooks insist that you don’t need to add mayonnaise between each layer, otherwise the vegetables will start to release a lot of juice.
