Boil the potatoes until tender. Allow to cool, then peel. Hard-boil the eggs, allow to cool, then peel. Grate the potatoes, then the eggs and finally the beetroot, on the large side of your grater – keep each ingredient separate and wash the grater in between.

Drain the herring from the oil or remove the rollmop from the milk. Cut into strips and divide between 4 individual glass serving bowls. Sprinkle the spring onion over the herring generously, then add a layer of grated beetroot, a thin layer of mayonnaise, a layer of potatoes, more mayonnaise and then the grated eggs.
