Wine Advice:
Pair these comforting potato-stuffed pitas with a light-bodied white wine such as Pinot Grigio or a slightly fruity Chardonnay. These wines will complement the savory flavors of the potatoes and onions without overwhelming the dish. If you prefer red wine, a soft and fruity Merlot would also be a delightful match.Nutritional Information
