Remove the ends from the washed beans and dice the peeled potatoes. Cook the beans and potatoes with the savory for about 15-20 minutes. Place the finely chopped onion in a bowl. Drain the beans and potatoes and spread them on top of the onions while still hot. Cut the matjes into small pieces and mix well with all the other ingredients. Do not add salt, as the herring will release enough salt. The salad should marinate for a few hours. Serve with boiled, quartered eggs.
