Meanwhile, cook carrots in lightly salted water for 15 minutes until tender.

Drain the cooked potatoes and carrots and allow to cool.

Grate or finely chop the cooled potato and carrots place in a layer on serving platter and press down gently.

Chop the herring fillets and place in a layer on top of the potatoes but slightly smaller to start creating a mound effect

Sprinkle with the chopped dill.

Continue building the mountain with a layer of onion, then eggs then grated carrots, in that order, pressing each layer down gently.

Finally, grate the beet and cover the entire mound to form a red jacket effect.

Spoon the mayonnaise dressing over top, cover loosely and refrigerate for 4-8 hours.

Made this for Dad this past Christmas, he thought it was just like his mom's. I couldn't have been happier to give him a taste of home.
