Boil vegetables together in one pan until they are fork tender. Hard boil the eggs. Peel skin from herrings, cut them along the spine,removing the bones. Cut herring meat into very little pieces checking for bones.

Grind potatoes, carrots, eggs, and beets. You are making a layer salad that will look like a cake.

On a plate, place a layer of potatoes, then spread mayonnaise evenly on top in a thin layer. Use a fork to even the layers. Then make a layer of beets using 1/2 of the beets, then layer 1/2 of the carrots,1/2 of the chopped onion and then the herring.

Next layer the remaining onion, then a layer of remaining carrots. Place a layer of 3 chopped eggs, and then the remaining beets.

On top pour remaining mayonnaise.

Add 1 more layer of 1 chopped egg and decorate with chopped parsley and dill.

Let it soaked overnight.
