  1. Step 1:

    Grate potatoes on a medium grater.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Boil hard-boiled eggs, cool and peel. Separate the whites from the yolks. Grate the whites on a medium grater, and the yolks in a separate bowl on a fine grater. Set aside a little grated yolk to decorate the salad.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Remove the fish from the jar, shake off the liquid and mash with a fork. If you come across too large bones, remove them. I love when there is a lot of fish in the salad, so I took 2 cans of canned food instead of one.

    Step 10.

    Place the cooking ring (Ø 18-20 cm) on the dish. Lay out the first layer of all potatoes and evenly distribute over the entire diameter of the ring. Pour mayonnaise from a pastry bag. If desired, you can lightly salt the layers of potatoes and carrots, but I usually do not add salt to salads with mayonnaise.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Put the grated carrots in the next layer and also pour mayonnaise. If you are going to add pickled onions to the salad, put it in the next layer after the carrots.

    Lay a layer of cheese on the carrots. Make a mesh of mayonnaise on top.

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16.

    Using the postponed grated yolks and small sprigs of dill, form small sprigs of mimosa along the outer edge of the salad. Leave the center without decoration.

  17. Step 17:

    Step 17.

    Remove the cooking ring carefully. You can serve the salad immediately or let it stand in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or the whole night. Bon appetit!
