Ingredients:
For the Potatoes:
- 6 medium-sized potatoes
- Vegetable oil
For the Marinated Red Onions:
- 2 red onions
- 300 ml (1.5 cups) water
- 2.5 tablespoons 9% vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
For the Herring Topping:
- 3-4 herring fillets
- 3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1.5 teaspoons grainy mustard
Instructions:
1. Roast the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F).
- Place the whole potatoes in a baking dish, brush them with vegetable oil, and roast in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until they are cooked through and have a golden-brown exterior.
2. Prepare Marinated Red Onions:
- While the potatoes are roasting, thinly slice the red onions into rings.
- In a bowl, combine water, 9% vinegar, salt, and sugar.
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the sliced red onions and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes. This will soften the onions and give them a sweet and tangy flavor.
3. Prepare the Herring Topping:
-
Slice the herring fillets into thin pieces.
-
In a separate dish, mix vegetable oil with both Dijon and grainy mustard until the mixture is smooth.
-
Add the sliced herring to the mustard-oil mixture and toss to coat.
4. Assemble the Dish:
-
Once the roasted potatoes are done, remove them from the oven.
-
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and gently scoop out a bit of the center to create a small well.
-
Fill each potato half with the herring and mustard mixture, ensuring that each piece of potato gets a generous topping of the herring mixture.
-
Top the herring with the marinated red onion rings for a sweet and tangy contrast.
-
Garnish the dish with fresh dill for added flavor and a touch of greenery.
