Answer 2

Try this: Canary Islands Potatoes
with Mojo Sauce

12 medium red-skinned potatoes
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
3/4 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds,
toasted and slightly crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste




1. Cut the unpeeled potatoes in half. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the potatoes. Cook until tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Drain well.

2. Meanwhile, make the Mojo Sauce by whisking together the vinegar and olive oil in a small bowl. Add all of the remaining ingredients. Whisk again. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and serve hot or at room temperature.

Answer 3

I think the recipes you got sent may be for "patatas bravas" which means brave potato cos it's spicey and hot and a dish of mainland Spain. The authentic style canary potato is cooked in sea water, brought about cos there is an ongoing water shortage on the islands.

Answer 4

If it is the Canary Potatoes I am thinking of I do them by part boiling whole new potatoes draining them off and drying them. Then I pour some olive oil over them and sprinkle plenty of rock salt on. Pop them in the oven until cooked (like mini jacket potato's)
