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.

Potato and Herring Salad

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups boiled potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup herring, diced
  • 3/4 cup celery, diced
  • 6 tbsp. sour cream

    Instructions:

  • In a large bowl, mix together sour cream and lemon juice
  • Add potatoes, herring, and celery and toss gently

    Hints:

  • Add pickled beets for color
