Perfect for everyday meals. For preparing herring salad, you can use either young or old potatoes. If desired, you can not only boil them but also bake. Use your favorite tomato variety and color; the salad turns out especially juicy and flavorful with Mikado tomatoes. Garnish as desired and serve.

Step 2
Boil the potatoes and egg until cooked. The egg usually takes about 10 minutes, while potatoes need 15–20 minutes, depending on the size of the tubers. I use young potatoes and boil them whole, but peeled. If you're using old potatoes, cook them in their skins, after washing them thoroughly with a stiff sponge.

Step 3
Clean the smelt. Cut off the head, remove the innards, and carefully fillet the meat from the backbone. I left the skin on; if desired, you can remove it.
