Quantity Ingredient
4 Salted Herring

2 Red Onions
3 decilitres Cream

Directions

Rinse the herrings in cold water and cut the tails. Peel potatos and cut in thin slices. Peel onions and cut in thin slices as well.

Take a heat-resistent dish and put in a layer of potatos. Then a layer of herrings. Start with potatos and end with potatos. Put pepper on every layer. Put in the cream till appr. 1 inch from the top. Put on the breadcrumbs and spread little lumps of butter on top.

Put in a warm - 200 celsius - oven for about 40 minutes until the top is brown.

Serve with icecold Aquavit. That's a very strong Danish liquor.
