Instructions
- Open the can of surströmming in a well-ventilated area, ideally outdoors, and under water to reduce the smell.
- Quickly rinse the fillets under cold water, then drain them on kitchen paper.
- Cook the new potatoes in salted boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender, then drain.
- Finely slice the red onion and chop the dill.
- Spread a spoonful of crème fraîche over each flatbread.
- Lay a few herring fillets, a potato, onion rings and dill on top.
- Roll up the flatbread and eat straight away, preferably with a light beer or a schnapps.
