INGREDIENTS

For the potatoes

500 g ( 1 pound and 2 oz ) small salad or new potatoes

25 g ( 1 oz ) sea salt

1 litre ( 1 and 1/3 pints ) water

For the Mojo Picon

6 tablespoons groundnut oil, or similar neutral tasting oil

1 large red bell pepper, chopped

4 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons white wine or cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

For the Mojo Verde

6 tablespoons groundnut oil, or similar neutral tasting oil

1 large green bell pepper, chopped

4 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons white wine or cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon sugar

50 g ( 2 oz ) fresh coriander

METHOD

To prepare the potatoes.

Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius.

Put the potatoes into a pan with the salt and water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain off any excess water.

Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the skins have started to wrinkle and the potatoes get a good white shimmer from the salty water the were cooked in.

Now make the sauces

To make the sauces, just place all of the ingredients into a processor and process until a sauce has formed. Do this for the Picon and the Verde.

Serve the 2 sauces along side the potatoes and spoon over some of the  sauce or dip them into the sauce before eating.
