“Papas arrugadas”
From time to time,
i might post a recipe from a typical canarian dish, so if you want, write it down or print it or whatever you like, and try it out. Maybe you can surprise you family and friends with something new.
“Papas arrugadas” – “crumpled potatoes” would be its direct translation.
There are actually different ways or styles of preparing them but basically its donde this way:
1) Pic small sized potatoes, like an egg, and wash them very good but leave the skin on.
2) Put them in a high saucepan, add a piece of lemon and a quarter kilo of salt for every kilo of potatoes (more or less: 1 pound = 0,454 kilo; 2.205 pounds = 1 kilo ). Fill the saucepan with water just enough to cover the potatoes on the top and boil them until they are ready.
3) When done, pour the water out and put the saucepan back on the fireand let the potatoes dry out, shaking them from time to time (this might take not more than 2 or 3 minutes)
4) After this, take them off the fire and leave them covered them with a dish towel for some minutes.
5) Serve them on a plate and pour "mojo" over them. (“mojo” is a tipical canarian spicy peppersauce)
Enjoy! Hang on, next time i’ll post the “mojo” recipe.
