I also remember all the tapas and up to this day, I still miss them. I especially missed this wrinkled Canarian potatoes tapas. Thank you very much for posting how to make it online. I wil now look for the mushroom garlic (Champinones el ajillo)recipe online which I'm sure you've had the pleasure of enjoying there as well.

We really enjoyed exploring the entire island and all that it had to offer. We LOVED the potatoes cooked in sea salt!!!! The mojo sauces were delicious as well. I am making the potatoes to go along with our Easter meal today. I found this website as I was searching "how to prepare the potatoes".............thanks for sharing the recipe. I can't wait to eat them today and share them with our children. My husband and I just returned from a 9 day 20th anniversary trip to Lanzarote.

That is the part with the motor (in your picture), and the two attachments (accessories) in the picture are the "whisk" and the "chopper". The "chopper" is like a mini "food processor", and most good cooks here have a big "food processor" in their kitchens as an essential tool, like a "Cuisnart" (brand). I think that these recipes would best be pureed in the chopper accessory of the "hand mixer", or in a big food processor. This recipe reminds me of a favorite Colombian food (tapa) that I use to eat there while serving in the Peace Corps in the '60's---you boil small red or new potatoes, and as soon as they are cooked, you drain them and immediately sprinkle them with sea salt (toss them in the pan with the salt), and the salt crystallizes on the moist surface of the potatoes as they steams dry. Then they are served with a red picante sauce, very similar to your "mojo picante". !Muy rico!

I have recently returned from Lanzarote where I ate canarian potatoes with red mojo sauce for the first time. I enjoyed them so much, I had them 3 or 4 more times during my stay. Delicious. As any tourist would do, I brought home some jars of mojo, so I guess the recipie for cooking the potatoes will go down a storm with me. Great stuff!! Great recipie.

We refer to the leafy part of the plant used as an herb that way, and reserve the word corriander for the dried seeds, used as a spice. Another interesting difference, I thought, between US and British English. The recipie looks great in any case. I can't wait to try it!

We really enjoyed in Tenerife and of course it was funny and a real honour to take part in the podcast with Marina, Yoli and Monica. Girls, next time we should not forget the English word for "espuma"!! :-) This tapa is quite appropriate now, it is a good idea now that summer and warm weather is getting closer.

We bought some jars of mojo when on hols in La Gomera, but they ran out fairly quickly. So these recipes will get some serious use. Brilliant!
