Papas Arrugadas
Papas Arrugadas are a traditional dish from the Canary Islands, made primarily from small, unpeeled potatoes. The potatoes are boiled in saltwater, which causes their skins to wrinkle, giving them a unique appearance. This cooking method enhances their flavor and creates a slightly salty crust.
Typically served with mojo, a flavorful sauce made from garlic, olive oil, and spices, Papas Arrugadas are a popular side dish. They are often enjoyed with fish or meat, making them a staple in Canarian cuisine. Their simplicity and taste have made them beloved both locally and beyond.
