My OXO Grater (affiliate link that helps my channel): amzn.to/41g1aMb
Dressing:
130g (2/3 cups) mayo
2 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt to taste
Mix everything together in a small bowl.
For assembly:
400g beets (2 medium beets)
400g boiling potatoes (like red bliss or yukon gold) (2 medium potatoes)
40g finely diced white onion (about 1/4 onion)
1-2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 hard boiled eggs
50g peeled honeycrisp apple (or some other firm sweet tart variety) (about the size of 1 egg)
300g* herring (or 200g smoked salmon) chopped into bite size pieces
* If you are buying deboned herring in oil, get two 250g packages. If you are buying herring whole, buy 2 fish. In both cases, you might have a bit of herring leftover. Most smoked salmon comes in 4 oz packages. You’ll need 2 packages.
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Set a flat rack into a baking dish. Scrub the beets and potatoes well. Wrap the beets in one piece of foil. Wrap the potatoes in another piece of foil. Place in the baking dish on top of a rack and bake in the middle of the oven until tender, 1.5-2 hours. Unwrap, cool completely, peel, and grate on large holes of a box grater (potatoes into one bowl, beets into another).
Divide the mayo dressing between the beets and potatoes. Season them with salt and mix well (be gentle with potatoes). Taste and correct for salt. Divide the beets into 2 portions. Divide the potatoes into 3 portions.
Put the onions into a small bowl, add the lemon juice and salt and mix well.
In a dish of your choice that is 4-6 cups in capacity and about 2 inches deep, layer all the ingredients in this order:
A third of potatoes
Layer of herring
Sprinkling of onions
A third of potatoes
Half of beets
Grate one egg on top. Grate about the same amount of apple on top. Repeat the layering in this order: herring, onions, potatoes, beets. Clean the edges of the dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Reserve the second egg in the fridge and grate it on top right before serving.
