Herring with Sauces
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. For the herring appetizer to taste good, use good-quality salted fillet. Before cooking, check that there are no bones. I would like to offer you several ways to prepare herring with sauces: with cranberry sauce, with mustard and sour cream (also with cranberries). I had fresh cranberries; you can also use frozen ones. Boil the potatoes for the second type of appetizer in advance. Let's look at the recipe. Serve the appetizer at the table.
