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?

This marinade is great for roasted potatoes as well yes, but like you said yourself, every family uses a variation of spices for the potatoes itself.
