Clean the potatoes under running water with a brush and boil them in salted water with the skin on until tender. Once cooled, pierce 4 to 5 holes in the potatoes with a thin toothpick (or needle) to allow the seasoning to penetrate. For the vinaigrette (sauce): Mix the olive oil + apple cider vinegar + onion + paprika + garlic + olives + bay leaf. Add the potatoes to the sauce and season with salt, pepper, oregano, and the dried spices. Transfer everything to shallow, round jars with lids, adding more olive oil if needed—the potatoes need to be covered. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least two days before serving. Stir 1 to 2 times a day at first to ensure the seasoning on the bottom reaches the potatoes on top! Stir with a clean, dry handle, especially before serving!
