How to Make Nanas Portuguese Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pour 1 cup of water into a large roasting pan.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of paprika over the water. Whisk gently to remove lumps.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 2 pounds of potatoes (peeled and quartered).
  6. Add 1 pound of Portuguese sausage (sliced or crumbled).
  7. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs (optional, cut into 1-inch pieces).
  8. Bake for 2 hours, uncovered. Do not cover the potatoes; this ensures they roast and not steam.
  9. Serve hot. The potatoes will have a beautiful reddish color and a wonderfully tender texture.
