A meat broth or a sauce with milk, cream and cheese or egg yolk is usually poured over the casserole . In some recipes, cooked or raw ham is also added to the sauce, and onion rings or glazed onions can also be layered between the potatoes and herrings. Cheese can be grated on top again and breadcrumbs added to create a crust. Then it is gratinated in the oven .

Salted herrings for preservation play a central role in most kitchens in Northern Europe, especially in Scandinavia, Northern Germany and the Netherlands. Due to the shipping on the Rhine, the Dutch herring made it to the Rhineland and thus became part of the Rhine cuisine.
