Papas arrugadas

Rice, Grain and Starch Dishes

Papas arrugadas, meaning wrinkly potatoes, is a boiled potato dish eaten in Spain's Canary Islands, usually served with a chili and garlic sauce called mojo rojo. The potatoes, often a local variety such as papa bonita or papa negra descended from Andean stock, are boiled unpeeled in heavily salted water, traditionally seawater, and then left briefly on the stove to dry until their skins shrivel and develop a fine salt crust. They are commonly eaten unpeeled, without cutlery, either as a side dish to meat or fish or on their own as tapas.
