Drain and chill completely. Peel and grate them using a fine grater.2Step 2: In a separate pot, boil the beets until soft, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool, peel, and grate. If the beets are very juicy, pat them dry with a paper towel to avoid a watery salad.3Step 3: Finely dice the onions. Pour boiling water over them, drain, then rinse with cold water.

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over the potatoes.5Step 5: Spread all the onions over the mayonnaise layer. Add a second thin layer of mayonnaise. Evenly distribute the chopped herring over the onions.6Step 6: Top with the remaining potatoes and a thin layer of mayonnaise. Add all of the grated carrots, followed by more mayonnaise. Add all of the grated eggs in an even layer.7Step 7: Top with the remaining grated beets. Spread the final layer of mayonnaise over the beets. Use a fork to create a decorative pattern on top.8Step 8: Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Before serving, garnish with fresh dill or chopped green onions.getsaucepan.com/r/554426bf-8f6d-4301-8da9-2c3497791e2c · Original: https://littlesunnykitchen.com/russian-herring-under-fur-coat-layered-salad/
