This is the classic way of serving potatoes in the Canary isles. You can use any baby potatoes for this dish, though springtime New Potatoes add flavour and make things a little special. Traditionally it's served as an accompaniment, but works just as well as a starter or a snack with beer or a crisp white wine to accompany. The Canary Islands, also known informally as the Canaries, are a Spanish autonomous community and archipelago in Macaronesia in the Atlantic Ocean. At their closest point to the African mainland, they are 100 kilometres west of Morocco. They are the southernmost of the autonomous communities of Spain.

Ingredients:

750g (1 2/3 lbs) new potatoes
100g (3 1/2 oz) salt

For the mojo sauce:
170g (6 oz) Chargrilled Peppers in Sunflower Oil (drained weight)
1 clove garlic
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp vinegar (cider or sherry)
½ tsp sugar

Method:

Put the new potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Add the salt and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender (about 20 minutes). Once cooked, drain and leave to dry for 5-10 minutes, uncovered, in the saucepan to create a salty crust.

Meanwhile, blend all the sauce ingredients together in a food processor until smooth and season to taste. Serve the potatoes on a platter with a bowl of the sauce in the middle for dunking.
