Blog Post & Recipe: Canary Wrinkly Potatoes (Papas Arrugadas)


When I encountered this dish for the first time in a Spanish restaurant, I thought they used a special kind of potatoes as the insides were soft, almost mashed, encased in salty, slightly chewy skin. Apparently, it’s a classic Canarian dish for ordinary new potatoes.

This recipe is not from mainstream Turkish cuisine - as far as I know -, I inspired with this Cretan recipe, adapted to my turkish taste. I have no chance to find spiny chicory - stamnagathi here so I used dandelions as she advised, then omitted the lemon-egg (terbiye) sauce and added fresh tomatoes.
