Preheat over to 375 degrees. Scrub the beets clean and place them on a bed of kosher salt in a baking dish. Seal the dish with a piece of aluminum foil. Roast the beets until they are tender, about 1 hour. In the meantime, boil potatoes until tender. Let the beets cool and then dice; strain potatoes, let cool and then dice. Mix water, vinegar, sugar, allspice berries, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, white peppercorns and whole cloves in a large bowl. Submerge beets, onion and apple in the solution for 2 hours, then strain. Add the potatoes, herring, sour cream and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Before serving, fold in the whipped cream. Garnish with herbs.
