A Portuguese-style oven roast of Idaho potatoes with chorizo, onion, tomato, and parsley in a seasoned red-wine-vinegar and water bath that gives the potatoes a red color.

Directions

Add salt, pepper, onion, tomato, parsley and potatoes. Before cooking add chorizo. Bake for 2 hours. Do not cover potatoes because they will steam and not roast.
