Step 1
Dice potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Chop herring fillets into small pieces. Dice onion finely.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Brown ground beef, breaking apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Add potatoes and onion. Stir and cook without moving until underside crisps, ~6 minutes. Flip in sections and crisp the other side, ~4 minutes.
Step 4
Fold in herring and mustard. Push hash to the edges of the skillet, making two wells in the center.
Step 5
Crack eggs into the wells. Cover skillet and cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Sprinkle with fresh dill if using. Serve straight from the pan with a pinch of salt and pepper.
