This is one of those peasant dishes which I consider a delicacy. It’s also something you almost never see in any Italian restaurants.

¼ cup vinegar
2 large potatoes, cut into large dice
1 medium onion
1 large carrot, cut into large dice
4 cloves garlic
2 cups white wine

1 tbsp. red pepper flakes
Extra virgin olive oil
