🇪🇸 En español: Papas Arrugadas

Papas arrugadas are the classic Canarian wrinkled potatoes.

Brought over by explorers to South America in the 1600s and cultivated in the Canary Islands ever since you are sure to have had them on holiday there.

Now you can try and make them at home. We don’t have quite the right potatoes like papa Bonita from Gran Canaria but any small variety should do.
