A very traditional dish is the one known as papas arrugadas, or wrinkled potatoes. For this recipe, small unpeeled potatoes are boiled in sea water until it fully evaporates. Thus, the potatoes become salted in the inside, while in the outside a layer of dried salt lends a whitish appearance to the wrinkled skin. These delicious papas complement both meat and fish dishes. The typical soups from Lanzarote are corn soup, different pulse and vegetable stews and fish soup. We must also point out the delicious Guanche food (the original inhabitants of the Canary Islands were the guanches) and gofio or roasted maize meal which is a great side for the soups.
