I prepare this dish in advance by cooking the potatoes about 3/4's of the way, refrigerate, then reheat and finish cooking the potatoes for service. This not only allows me to do all the cooking and cleaning up earlier in the day but, more importantly, it allows the flavors to build. I too serve this as a tapas with an assortment of other delicacies. My only change to the recipe is to use vegetable broth.
