Drain the herring fillets and place them on kitchen paper to absorb the oil. Pour the sour cream into a bowl (preferably one with a lid) and mix with salt, pepper, and sugar until creamy. Cut the onion, apples, and cucumber into 1 cm cubes and add them to the sour cream. Finally, cut the herring fillets into bite-sized pieces and add them. Stir everything well, then cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours. For variation, stir in fresh or frozen dill. Boil the potatoes in their jacket potatoes and enjoy with the herring gravy.
