About this dish

Papas arrugadas is a boiled potato dish eaten in the Canary Islands, usually served with a chili pepper garlic sauce called mojo rojo. Often served as a side dish to meat or fish, they are also eaten on their own as tapas. Papas arrugadas are generally eaten without cutlery, dipped into the sauces of shared dishes at meals. Locally, the dish is often made from potato varieties known as papas antiguas (ancient potatoes) such as the papa bonita or papa negra, which are cleaned and boiled unpeeled in salt water. The varieties, originally from the Andes, have a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status in the archipelago. Originally, seawater was used, but today it is more common to use tap water with a large quantity of salt added.
