Traditional Potato and Herring Salad Recipe

This Potato and Herring Salad recipe comes from my Mom. She usually made it as one of her party buffet recipes. As well, she often made this traditional German food as a special treat for summer picnics.

To differentiate this salad from potato salad, my mom would add slices of pickled red beets. The resulting pink color became her trademark herring salad.

Use pickled herring that's sold in jars. Drain well and cut the herring into smaller pieces. If onions are in the jars, chop these and add to the salad as well.
