Serves: 4
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
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.
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.
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.
Transfer potatoes to a bowl and serve with mojo sauce.
