1. Peel the vegetables and grate them. The first layer of the salad consisting of grated potatoes should resemble the hedgehog by its shape. Cover the layer with sour cream and salt it a bit. If you cook the salad for adults, you can use homemade mayonnaise instead of sour cream, although, the latter ingredient is more preferable when it comes to dishes for kids

   

2. Chop the boiled beef and spread it above the first layer. Cover the second layer with sour cream. Add salt

   

3. Grate smoked processed cheese and form the next layer of the salad. Cover it with sour cream as well

   

4. Wash the spinach under cool water and chop it. If you don’t like spinach, you can replace it with parsley, green onion, fennel or any other edible greenery

   

5. Cover the cheese layer of the salad with chopped spinach. There is no need to use sour cream for this layer

   

6. The next layer of the salad will consist of grated boiled carrot. The use of sour cream in this case is important

   

7. Peel the boiled eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Grate the yolks and cover the carrot layer of the salad

   

8. Now, you should spread enough sour cream to hide all the imperfections. Having done that, grate the egg whites and dredge the salad with them

   

9. The final step of the cooking process is making the spines. For this purpose, you should use dry bread crumbs. Stick them into the salad. Do not forget about the eyes and nose of your hedgehog. It is better to make them using boiled carrot and pickled cucumber, for example. You can also use black olives for this purpose. They will give the hedgehog curious and cute look. Do not forget to experiment and your salad will certainly appeal to your guests! Enjoy!
