- Return the potatoes once dry to the pot, add the rest of the salt and put on medium heat
- Go around the potatoes so that the salt and heat will wrinkle them

For the Mojo Picón:
- Put all the ingredients in the blender glass and grind until the desired texture, if very thick, add a little juice of the roast pepper, or if not water
- Taste and adjust with salt, cumin or pepper to taste
For the Mojo Verde:
- Add to the mixer all the ingredients, peeled garlic, parsley or cilantro leaves, vinegar, cumin, salt and cayenne optional, beat until a uniform paste, add the oil little by little without ceasing to beat to make a well emulsified sauce
- Taste and adjust with salt, cumin…
- The two mojos can be made with mortar, kneading little by little, and adding at the end the oil to emulsify
