Papas
Arrugadas
(Wrinkled
Potatoes)
2Kg
(5lbs) small to medium potatoes unpeeled (50 - 75mm; {2 - 3"})
200 gram (7 1/4 oz.) Sea salt
1)
Wash the potatoes. Because they are
in their 'jackets' you must wash them
well.
2) Put salt in a large saucepan
3) Add water to a depth of about 3.5 cm (1 1/2")
3) Add potatoes (they do not have to be immursed in the water)
4) Cover the potatoes (not the pan) with a tea cloth (or cabbage leaves)
5) Boil slowly for about 20 minutes.
6) Drain and steam dry over low heat. (a white salt layer should form on the potatoes and they
should be slightly wrinkled)
When
finished, coat potatoes with a layer of mojo sauce and you have
