Herring Under a White Coat Salad

Boil the potatoes in their jackets until tender. Let them cool and peel.

Hard-boil the eggs. Let them cool and peel.

Fillet the lightly salted herring and dice finely.

Finely chop the onion and place it in a suitable bowl. Add sugar, salt to taste, and vinegar. Pour in hot water so that the onion is completely covered. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Using a serving ring is very convenient for assembling the salad. If you don't have one, you can simply layer the salad directly onto a serving dish.
