Notes
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: These potatoes are meant to be eaten when they are finished cooking, but you can keep them warm up to 1 hour before serving in the oven, covered with foil at low temperatures.
How to Reheat: Place the desired amount on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper or in a sauté pan and heat in the oven at 350° for 5-10 minutes or until hot. You can also reheat in the microwave until hot.
How to Store: Place covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. These do not freeze well as the potatoes will turn to mush once thawed.
You can try and substitute red or Yukon gold potatoes if you do not have russets.
Use distilled white vinegar or red wine vinegar if you do not have white wine vinegar.
Another option to cook these would be to cook in the oven at 400° for 15-18 minutes once you add in the potatoes. Add in the garlic, toss, and cook in the oven for a 4-5 more minutes. Finish the same way that I do in this recipe with butter, salt, and pepper.
