Steps:

• TO PREPARE USING SALT HERRING:.
• soak the herring in cold water overnight to remove the salt.
• Rinse and drain.
• Split the herring along the backbone, remove the bones (including the small bones), remove and discard the skin, drain the herring on a paper towel.
• Use whole filets in the casserole or cut the filets into 1 inch pieces.
• THEN TO COMPLETE THE CASSEROLE:.
• Peel the potatoes, then slice them about 1/4" thick.
• Slice the onions about 1/4" thick and sauté them in 2-3 tablespoons of the butter, until they're soft and transparent but not brown.
• Butter a baking dish with the butter used to sauté the onions.
• Alternate rows in the baking dish of raw potato slices, herring, and sautéed onions.
• In a small bowl, beat 3 eggs with a wire whisk.
• Add 2 cups milk or cream and the teaspoon sugar.
• Mix well.
• Pour over the top of the casserole.
• Add white pepper to taste, freshly ground if available.
• Add the dill weed to taste.
• Season with salt to taste.
• Sprinkle the bread crumbs on top and dot with the remaining butter.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake at 400ºF for 20 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked.
• VARIATIONS:.
• If you cannot find salt herring you can substitute one of the following instead:
• a.)Herring filets in wine: rinse well in cold water and drain.
• B.)Kippered herring filets in a can: rinse gently by running some cold water into the opened can, draining, and repeating several times. Carefully remove the filets from the can to avoid breaking them any more than necessary. (The smoked flavor of the kippered herring is a great variation in this casserole.).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic or onion powder (if using), and about ½ teaspoon of salt. Season with black pepper and toss to coat. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the dressing: Combine avocado, mayonnaise, dill, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, 1 jalapeño and salt in a blender or small food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and if you want it spicier, add the second jalapeño.
• After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and toss. Push the potatoes to one side of the sheet pan, and add the green beans to the other side. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender and the potatoes are golden on the outside and tender all the way through. Don't overcook the beans; if the beans are done before the potatoes are ready, remove them from the sheet pan and return the potatoes to the oven.
• Transfer the potatoes and green beans to a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the cannellini beans along with half the dressing and toss to coat well. Taste and check seasonings, adding more salt and black pepper if needed.
• To serve, squeeze the lime halves over and scatter with dill leaves. Pass the remaining dressing on the side.
