Wrinkled Potatoes
(Papas Arragudas)
2 1/2 lb. small gold potatoes unpeeled (2-3" diameter)
3 1/2 oz. Sea salt
1) Wash the potatoes. Because they are in their 'jackets' you must wash
them well.
2) Put salt in a large saucepan
3) Add water to a depth of about 1 1/2"
3) Add potatoes (they do not have to be immersed in the water)
4) Cover the potatoes (not the pan) with a small diameter pot lid
5) Boil slowly for about 20 minutes.
6) Drain and steam dry over low heat. (a white salt layer should form on
the potatoes and they should be slightly wrinkled)
When finished, coat potatoes with a layer of mojo sauce and you have
Canarian "Papas con Mojo"
Mojo Sauce
Peel and section two whole, cloves of garlic
With a mortar a pestle add:
1 TB of cumin powder
1 TB of Hot Paprika
1/2 TB of sea-salt (optional)
Add a very little olive-oil and grind all of it into a paste
(make sure you grind out all the lumps of garlic!)
Scrape the mixture into a food processor and
add two whole Bell Red peppers, halved.
Pulse until a fairly thick consistency is reached.
add more olive oil to dilute as required or leave it as above for nice and spicey.
If too thin, add one slice of stale bread and pulse
