Snaps Bread with New Potatoes and Herring © kvalifood.com
Snaps bread is the classic accompaniment to aquavit at the lunch table. New potatoes with marinated herring, onion cream and dill — simple and well-tested. Use the first new potatoes of the season and a good, well-spiced marinated herring. It is not the aquavit that accompanies the food, but the other way around.

Mix the onion, crème fraîche, sugar and vinegar together. Season with salt and leave the cream to rest for 10 minutes so the flavour develops.
