    How to Make Golden Spanish Potatoes with White Wine

    1. Preheat Preparation

    Preheat your oven to 400°F and position the rack in the middle.

    2. Mixing Potatoes

    In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil until they are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

    3. Flavor Layering

    Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the bowl. Stir the mixture to distribute the flavors evenly.

    4. Pan Arrangement

    Transfer the potato mixture to a 13x9-inch baking dish, spreading it into a uniform layer. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.

    5. Initial Bake

    Place the covered dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender enough to be easily pierced with a knife.

    6. Adding Wine

    Lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Remove the foil carefully, and pour the white wine evenly over the potatoes. Replace the foil loosely over the top, leaving the sides open to allow moisture to escape.

    7. Evaporating Wine

    Return the dish to the oven, baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the wine has mostly evaporated and some oil is bubbling around the edges.

    8. Cooling

    Remove the foil and let the dish cool for 10 minutes before serving.

    Variations

    Saffron-infused Spanish Potatoes

    Add saffron threads to the wine for a luxurious take, ideal for pairing with seafood.

    Spicy Chorizo and Potato Tapas

    Add diced Spanish chorizo for a protein boost and a smoky, spicy flavor, suitable as a tapas dish or side.

    Mediterranean Lemon-Herb Potatoes

    Use chicken broth with lemon juice and zest, and incorporate oregano and thyme for a Mediterranean twist.

    Spice Adjustments

    Try using hot paprika for heat, sweet paprika for a milder dish, or a combination of paprikas. A pinch of saffron can also elevate the dish.

    Protein Addition

    Add chorizo or cooked ham for more substance, or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Choose the Right Potatoes

    Selecting the right type of potatoes is crucial. Yukon Golds are perfect for this recipe because they have a creamy texture and a buttery flavor that absorbs the wine and seasonings well. Make sure they're fresh and free of blemishes or sprouts.

    Wine Selection

    The wine you choose can significantly impact the dish's flavor. A dry white wine like a Spanish Albariño or Verdejo works well, imparting acidity and complexity. Avoid wines that are too sweet or oaky.

    Bloom the Spices

    Toast the smoked paprika with the saffron in the oil for 30 seconds before adding the wine. This 'blooms' the spices, releasing their full aroma and flavor into the oil, which then infuses the potatoes.

    Saffron Quality

    Use high-quality saffron for the most authentic flavor. It's an expensive spice, but a little goes a long way. Crumble it between your fingers to release its flavor before adding it to the dish.

    Potato Preparation

    Cutting the potatoes uniformly ensures that they cook evenly. Aim for precise 1 1/2-inch pieces. Don't skip the peeling, as it allows the flavors to penetrate the potatoes more deeply.
