Iconic Canarian Spanish Wrinkled Potatoes | Papas Arrugadas con Mojos

[@mirandamom1346]

I actually can make a quick version of this recipe, because roasted bell peppers and roasted garlic are two things that are always in my freezer! 😋

[@BackyardChef]

They are some of the best ingredients to have on hand. I have red bell pepper puree or paste in the fridge all the time. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@c-kcountry-kiwi5294]

Totally agree. I don't want to cook fancy food, I want to cook meals that are wholesome and nutritious.

9.40 in... Those potatoes would get no further. I would be tucking in. I love small potatoes done in their skins, a little pile of salt to dip into and maybe a pot of butter..... I love this addition of the red pepper sauce, think this will be one to use again and again... I can see this as a substitute to potato salad So jealous of you sitting down to eat this. You talk about charring the potatoes, my Mum used to call this tisselling! Some nights they would be very tissled ie burnt! (actually most nights)..... and Dad would come through the door from work with the phrase 'aaah my favourite type of potato tonight....' yes we ate them if we were hungry enough, drenched in gravy or butter or good old HP sauce (not a ketchup family)... even seen Dad Hunt for Branston pickle.... Thank for the recipe Rik, looks fab. Thank you for the wee memory jog!!!

Over here in the US, a very fine grocery store named Wegmans has a great product on their amazing produce aisle. A bag of salt potatoes. Basically the exact potatoes you have there, but with a large bag of salt, with instructions to cook. I'm pretty sure that would be perfect with your pepper sauce.

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Thank you. Best, Rik

@@BackyardChef Thank _you._ I wanted to make the potatoes in the weekend but I couldn’t wait and I made them today. I don’t have sea salt so I used table salt. I am a lazy cook so I put the cooked potatoes in the oven on a bed of salt on 150 C until they “dried out.”

The original spices from the country makes a huge difference in flavor. I use Mexican spices for my food too. I saw someone boil bell peppers to peel them. I've not tried this yet. Have you? I prefer the roasted because the flavor is better.

[@BackyardChef]

I have and it works fine. Roasting is better - to really top it - over the BBQ smokey in a bag, steam, peel skin amazing flavour. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@wwsuwannee7993]

Roasted peppers rule. Always take the time to do this if it fits the recipe. I bet a preserved salted lemon would work good here. There is absolutely no way to screw up potatoes of any style unless you burn them. I have never seen or heard of this recipe but...I can tell from the technique that they are unbelievably good. So simple, I will be making these. Thanks Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you as always. These are very good indeed! Its one of those dishes if its in front of you, you keep coming back for a another, another. New York has a style of potato nearly identical to these - Syracuse Salt Potatoes. Thank you. Best, Rik

Don't worry about your pronunciation. Even for a Spaniard from the mainland, it's challenging to pronounce it like a true Canarian. You should try some recipes from Aragón! A good 'Ternasco de Aragón' or 'Trenza de Huesca'!

I used to live in Tenerife back in the early 90s, and there's one restaurant that I can recommend.....I would bet it's still open these days. It's up in the hills in a place called Adeje, and officially it's called Restaurante Otello's, or to all the locals and residents it was known as The Chicken Shack. Funnily enough, chicken was the main thing on the 'menu' and you would just order chicken for how many of you want it, and it'd be served in a trough, and with a few bowls of papas Canarias and especial ensalada......not forgetting the red & green sauces 😆 Oh and I remember all the Canarian potatoes I ate in my 3 years did actually have the skins still on 👍 Anyone who's going to Tenerife soon, go to the Chicken Shack and thank me later......Sit outside for some beautiful views of Barranco del Infierno ✌️

@@BackyardChef - Ta mate, and ta for the recipe. I've been back in England about 25 years and have tried many times to recreate papas Canarias and haven't been able to get near to authentic so far.....but I didn't know about the dry cooked in salt trick, and I think that's the key. I'm saving this to my recipe videos and will let you know how I find yours....Last recipe I tried called for skin off spuds unlike yours 👍

Just a note, in the USA "chili powder" is not just powdered hot chilis, but also a large dose of cumin and usually other spices. It's the flavor of the chili dish, not the chili vegetable.

What difference will it make if we leave the pepper skins? (either skin on or taken off and put it in the blender with the rest of the pepper) I generally like to keep as much fibre from veg in a dish as is possible

[@BackyardChef]

No worries, leave them and blend. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@bonnibling]

That has to be outrageously delicious, and that sauce is multi-purpose; you can use it with other preparations, such as chicken, fish, and seafood. Rik, I'm just concerned about scorching the pan while drying out the potatoes. I'm thinking you used a non-stick aluminum pan where dishwashing liquid and water can be left to simmer on the stove and will lift the scorching (?)

[@BackyardChef]

I actually used an old stainless steel pan. Yes there is some scorching with this method. Thank you. Best, Rik
