Ingredients
  • 2 lbs. small new potatoes or salt potatoes
  • ¼ cup salt
Mojo Rojo Sauce
  • 6 Tbsps. olive oil
  • ½ habanero pepper, seeded, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. white vinegar
  • 2 tsps. (4 cloves) garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp. cumin
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • pinch of sugar,
  • ⅓ cup jarred roasted red pepper, chopped
Instructions
  1. Place potatoes in a single layer in a large pot with the salt adding enough water to barely cover them. Bring to a boil on high heat and cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, make mojo sauce by placing all mojo ingredients EXCEPT red peppers in a small food processor and blend smooth. Add red peppers and pulse leaving the peppers a little chunky. Transfer to a small bowl.
  3. When the potatoes are fork tender, drain water and return the potatoes to the pot. Heat on medium heat and cook 2-3 minutes shaking the pot occasionally to dry the potatoes out and so the salt becomes powdery white and visible.
  4. Transfer potatoes to a bowl and serve with mojo sauce.
