My grandmother and dad used vinegar, small can of tomato sauce plus water, olive oil, garlic, sliced onions, bay leaf, crushed wet pepper, Portuguese allspice, pinch of cinnamon, and roasted potatoes alongside with meat until the potatoes were reddish gold and crispy.

I make this but my marinate is vinegar, garlic, bayleaves and touch of cinnamon. I use pork butt for the meat of choice

I am pretty sure every family has a variation of the above--paprika (no paprika), tons of pepper (not much pepper), some chopped onion (no onion), red wine (red wine vinegar). The whole point here is that this is a great jumping off point for you to make your own variation. I would like to know though if this is used to create those slightly sour reddish potatoes often roasted with beef for Holy Ghost celebrations?
