Canarian Potatoes

· by · in

This recipe appears here at the request of a colleague at work, who wondered how to make potatoes taste ‘like they do on holiday’.

The real key to the difference in taste in these simply boiled potatoes is the boiling in the skins, and peeling after, as opposed to peeling before. For extra authenticity, you could boil in seawater where available.
