Baked potatoes with salt and vinegar are a simple yet exquisite dish of Russian cuisine that impresses with its harmony of flavors. The potatoes are first soaked in a vinegar solution, giving them a slight tang that pairs wonderfully with the spiciness of garlic and the richness of salt. Baking in the oven then gives the potatoes an appetizing golden crust and rich aroma. This dish can serve as a great side for meat or fish and can also be enjoyed as a standalone snack. Its simplicity in preparation and minimal ingredient list make it an ideal choice for a cozy home dinner. The pleasant crispy coating outside and tender texture inside is what makes it so beloved among fans of home cooking.
