PRIDDHAS AN' HERRIN'
(Authentic Recipe from the Isle of Man)

Ingredients

• 2 Herring per person
• Potatoes
• Raw Onion
 

Directions

This is probably the most renowned of all Manx dishes and one of the simplest to prepare.
 
Use salt herring which have been soaked in fresh water overnight. 

Scrub the potatoes, put them in a large saucepan and barely cover with water.
 
When the potatoes are just over half cooked, lay the herring on top.

When both are cooked, carefully lift out the herring, drain the potatoes and serve with slices of raw onion and knobs of butter.
