The layers are six. The first layer is grated potatoes. The thickness of the layer is one centimeter. Then a layer of potatoes carefully lubricate with mayonnaise and spread the herring. One and a half herrings usually go to a large plate. The second layer is also covered with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Onions should be finely chopped and laid over herring, also covered with mayonnaise. Eggs tinder on the grater and pour the fourth layer so that the previous layer was not visible, that is, about half a centimeter thick. The fourth layer, like all the previous ones, is also covered with mayonnaise. Now you need to grate the grated carrots and lay them over the eggs. The fifth layer has the same thickness as the fourth and is also smeared with mayonnaise. The sixth layer is the grated beets. The thickness of this layer is one centimeter.

Vegetables and fish are prepared as in the previous recipe, but since the recipe does not have potatoes, the first layer is laid by the fish. Behind the layer of fish there is a layer of eggs, grated on a large grater, then a layer of carrot and a layer of cheese. The last layer is laid beet. All the layers except the carrot are covered with mayonnaise, and the beets must be poured with mayonnaise in a circular motion so that an intricate pattern is obtained.
