Tips & Substitutions
For a more robust flavor, marinate the potatoes overnight. If you can't find garlic wine vinegar, a mixture of white wine vinegar and minced garlic makes a great substitute. Fresh herbs like dill or basil can also enhance the taste. Consider boiling the potatoes with herbs for added flavor. Ensure the potatoes are warm when adding the marinade for better absorption.
