  • When it begins to boil, lower to minimum heat and cook between 20/25 minutes
  • When this time passes, remove the water, remove from the pot and dry the potatoes
  • 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
  • Remove from pot when wrinkled
  • Serve on a tray, with the two mojos in different bowls to be able to wet or spread the potatoes when they taste

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
