Authentic Canarian Potatoes: A Gastronomic Treasure from Our Land

What Makes Canarian Potatoes Unique?

Canarian potatoes, also known as papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), are small, thin-skinned, and packed with intense flavor thanks to their special cooking process. This method not only enhances their texture but also makes them the perfect pairing for a good red or green mojo—two traditional sauces that elevate their taste.

Learn How to Make Them Like a True Canarian!

If you’ve ever wondered how these delicacies are made, here’s a step-by-step guide so you can recreate them at home:

1️⃣ Choose the Right Potatoes – Opt for small, thin-skinned potatoes. Local varieties like papa bonita are the best choice.

2️⃣ Boil in Salted Water – Fill a pot with water and add a generous amount of salt, mimicking the salinity of seawater.

3️⃣ Cook Until Tender – Boil the potatoes with their skin on until they can be easily pierced with a fork.

4️⃣ The Final Touch – Drain the water and return them to the heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly until the salt forms a white crust on the skin.
