Herring under a fur coat is one of the most famous salads. Nine out of ten housewives cook it at least once a year, and each has its own favorite recipe. This is my signature recipe with a little secret in the form of smoked mackerel, which is added with one of the layers. With this addition, the salad becomes more interesting and original. Try it!

- Free the smoked mackerel from skin and bones and cut into large pieces.
- Clean the herring from skin and entrails, remove the ridge, fins, and all bones. Cut the herring fillet into small cubes.
- Cut the onions into small cubes, pour with lemon juice and add 2-3 tbsp of water. Stir and leave onions for 5-7 minutes.
- Grate boiled potatoes on a coarse grater and put in a salad bowl. Lightly salt the potato layer. Then apply mayonnaise with a fine mesh.
- Spread pieces of herring on top.
- Apply mayonnaise on a layer of herring. Squeeze the onion and layout the next layer.
- Then spread out the smoked mackerel and apply a layer of mayonnaise again.
