Papas arrugadas are a traditional dish from the Canary Islands, consisting of small potatoes that are cooked with their skins in very salty water, often sea water. The term “arrugadas” means “wrinkled” in Spanish , referring to the wrinkled appearance that potatoes take on after cooking. Once cooked, they are drained and lightly dried to obtain a wrinkled and lightly salted skin.
Papas arrugadas mojo sauces (mojo verde or mojo rojo) and are a popular accompaniment to many dishes. This dish is naturally gluten-free, as it contains only potatoes, water and salt, making it an ideal option for those following a gluten-free diet.
