Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place the about 450 g Potatoes in a large heavy-bottomed pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely. Once cooled, cut the potatoes into 1.27 cm cubes.
- 2While the potatoes are cooling, cut the 2 medium Apples into 1.27 cm cubes and finely dice the 1/4 cup Red onion.
- 3Drain the about 225 g Pickled herring substitute (e.g., marinated tofu) and cut it into 1.27 cm cubes.
- 4In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup Sour cream, 1/4 cup Mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dill, 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Sugar, 1/4 teaspoon Salt, and 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper until smooth.
- 5In a large bowl, combine the cooled 1.27 cm cubes of potatoes, the 1.27 cm cubes of apples, the diced red onion, and the 1.27 cm cubes of pickled herring substitute.
- 6Pour the dressing mixture over the ingredients in the large bowl and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
- 7Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This chilling step is important for the salad to taste its best.
- 8Serve the Herring Salad with Potatoes and Apples chilled.
