Papas arrugadas con mojo (wrinkled potatoes with mojo)
Small potatoes boiled with lots of salt until the skins wrinkle, with spicy red mojo and green mojo: the Canary Islands dish you’ll find everywhere in Las Palmas.
Ingredients
- 1 kg small potatoes
- 150 g coarse salt
- Red mojo: 2 dried red peppers or ñoras, 4 garlic cloves, cumin, paprika, oil, vinegar and salt
- Green mojo: coriander, 2 garlic cloves, green pepper, cumin, oil, vinegar and salt
How to make it at home
- Wash the potatoes and boil them in their skins in just enough water to cover, with the coarse salt, for about 20 minutes.
- Drain off almost all the water and leave them on the heat until they dry and the skins wrinkle and turn white.
- Blend the ingredients for each mojo with the oil and vinegar.
- Serve hot with both mojos.
The trick: Shake the pot at the end so the salt sticks to the skins.
