These potatoes unpeeled with Mojo Picón sauce of the Canary Islands I love. They are an easy dish that I solve those times in which suddenly someone comes to dinner because they are a rich snack and that almost prepares only.

Probably the potatoes unpeeled with Mojo Picon is the most popular dish of the Canary Islands, at least for those who don't live there. I remember much my friend Carmen. She went on for a long time spent their holidays there and is in love with its gastronomy and my seems to me that these potatoes unpeeled with Mojo Picón sauce are all an imno Canary. The sauce in this recipe is my version and although it is not which make there I assure you that in my house they fly whenever I prepare them.

The secret of the potatoes unpeeled with Mojo Picón sauce of the Canary Islands is in the arrugao of the potatoes also in the sauce that accompanies them, the mojo. The potatoes have to be quality and small, and although I have not been able to find the authentic Canarian ones there, the small garnish ones available in neighborhood stores and almost all supermarkets look good. Today we make them with a red and spicy mojo picón because you already know that at home we like rock & roll, made with paprika, but you can do it without the chilli if you don't like spicy much. There is also another green mojo that has a cilantro base, but I like wrinkled potatoes with picón mojo.

When I prepare it I do enough quantity because it is conserved for a long time in the fridge. Use it to potatoes you unpeeled but also usually it take with potato chips bag in the afternoons and football, or when friends come home and we improvised a pecking.
