  • This salad calls for baked potatoes, and since they take a while, start with them. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean under running water and pat them dry with paper towels, then wrap each one tightly in foil and set them in a baking dish or on a sheet pan. Bake for about 40 minutes, until fully tender. Rinse the veal in cold water, put it in a pot, and cover it completely with clean water. Salt the water lightly to taste and set the pot over the heat. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, skim off any foam, and lower the heat. Cover and continue cooking over moderate heat for about half an hour, or until the veal is tender. Drain off the broth (save it for another dish) and let the meat cool, then cut it into cubes. Cut the pickles into small pieces and drain off their liquid. Remove all the bones from the herring and cut the fillets into large pieces. Rinse the herbs, dry them, and chop — set aside a few sprigs for garnish. Make the dressing: stir the sour cream, whole-grain mustard, and white wine vinegar together until smooth. Chop the anchovies and add them to the dressing. When the potatoes are done, unwrap and cool them, then cut into large pieces. In a big bowl, combine all the salad ingredients — potatoes, pickles, herring, boiled veal, and chopped herbs — and add the capers. Pour the dressing over everything and refrigerate for an hour or more so the flavors come together. Garnish with herb sprigs before serving. Enjoy!
