How to make potato baskets with herring:
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes on a coarse grater and squeeze the starch out. Add the egg and finely grated cheese to it in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Line the potato dough in silicone muffin tins.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 40-50 minutes, until browning.
- Remove baskets from molds and refrigerate on a wooden surface.
- While the baskets are cooling, prepare the filling ingredients.
- Cut the onion into thin slices. Drizzle with a few drops of balsamic vinegar and add a pinch of sugar, then mash to remove the bitterness from the onion. Place the onion at the bottom of the baskets.
- Peel the herring fillet from the bones and cut into small cubes, as for herring under a fur coat. Place the herring on top of the onion.
- Add pickled cucumbers grated on a fine grater, hard and curd cheese, garlic passed through a press, mayonnaise to the boiled eggs cut into cubes. Stir until the egg cheese salad is smooth.
- Put a spoonful of salad on top of the herring, decorate the baskets with fresh herbs.
- Transfer the herring and potato baskets to a plate and serve.
- These baskets can be prepared with a variety of fillings such as chicken, fried mushrooms or seafood. Beautiful presentation and pleasant taste – what else do you need for a successful meal?
