Papas Arrugadas-Canary Island Wrinkled Potatoes
This way to cook potatoes comes from the Canary Islands. Traditionally served with red and green Mojo Salsas to dip, Papas Arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) are buttery smooth inside, with good texture and a salty bite on the outside. I use these to toss into lunch boxes, as a pizza topping, in a potato salad with balsamic vinaigrette or to cut up and roast with garlic spiked olive oil.
