The marinade typically includes red wine, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and sometimes other spices such as cumin or oregano. The potatoes are sliced thin, soaked in the marinade for at least an hour (or overnight), and then fried until golden brown.

The result is a flavorful and crispy side dish that is often served alongside grilled meats, seafood, or sandwiches. In Portugal, they are commonly served as a snack or appetizer, and can be found in many restaurants and cafes.

Overall, Portuguese marinated fries are a delicious and unique twist on the classic french fry that is worth trying if you have the chance!
