Russian layered salad

This is how the salad is always made in my Russian family. Put the herring and oil in a bowl. Peel the onion, quarter it, and slice it into thin strips. Add the onions to the herring fillets in the bowl, mix, and let it marinate for 1/2 hour. Peel and slice the potatoes. Coarsely grate the beetroot. Dice the eggs. Remove the herring and onions from the oil and let them drain. Cut the herring into thin strips. Layer half of the ingredients on a large plate or platter (I always use a pizza plate) so that it looks like a cake. Make sure to follow the order: potatoes, herring, onions, eggs, beetroot. Spread with mayonnaise, repeat the process, and spread mayonnaise around the edges. Let the salad marinate for at least 3 hours.
