Simple Herring Appetizer
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to prepare. The tomatoes and boiled potatoes should be small so they are easy to eat in one bite. If someone wants to add the herring’s traditional partner—onion—you can garnish the dish with green onion shoots. Serve the appetizer at the table.
