Peel and wash the potatoes, and cook them whole in salted water. Cut the green herring fillets (alternatively: soaked salted herring fillets or matjes fillets) into small pieces. Butter a baking dish and dust with breadcrumbs. Slice the potatoes and layer them in the baking dish, alternating with the herring fillets. Melt the remaining butter (do not brown) and add flour. Add milk, sour cream, or sour cream and mix everything into a smooth sauce. Season with salt and pepper (or cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and bay leaf).
