Dairy-Free Papas Arrugadas (Canarian Wrinkled Potatoes) with Mojo Rojo
Small potatoes boiled in heavily salted water until wrinkled, served with a spicy red pepper sauce (Mojo Rojo) made without dairy or nuts.
Ingredients
- about 910 g Small Potatoes (e.g., Baby Potatoes)
- 1/2 cup Sea Salt
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Roasted Red Peppers (jarred)
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place the about 910 g of small potatoes in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Add the 4 cups of water and the 1/2 cup of sea salt to the pot.
- 2Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the water has mostly evaporated, leaving a salty crust on the potatoes.
- 3While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the mojo rojo sauce. In a blender, combine the 1 cup of roasted red peppers, 4 cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1/4 cup of olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- 4Blend the ingredients in the blender on high speed until the sauce is completely smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
- 5Once the potatoes are cooked and have a visible salty crust, carefully remove them from the pot. Serve the about 910 g of hot wrinkled potatoes immediately with the mojo rojo sauce on the side for dipping.
