The bacon / bacon is left out crispy in a coated pan at 3/4 heat and drained on kitchen paper. Let cool down.
The onion is peeled and cut into fine cubes. The matjes fillets, the hard-boiled eggs and the pickles are also finely diced and placed in a bowl along with the onion and bacon. Add the finely chopped dill, lemon juice, cane sugar and sour cream, mix thoroughly and let steep for about 10 minutes and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Arrange accurately on a plate with a dressing ring. For the eye you can add a little bit of sour cream and a sprig of dill as a decoration.
I prefer to make small jacket potatoes, which I briefly toss in butter with chopped parsley.
