Most traditional Tenerife food dishes are made from scratch and, while rather simple, are bursting with flavor. Take the famous "papas arrugadas," a favorite Tenerife food, for example; literally meaning "wrinkled potatoes," they are simply small potatoes cooked in salted water with their skins still on and then served with a sauce known as "mojo." Canarians are experts at combining herbs and spices - particularly saffron, paprika, oregano, basil, thyme, bay leaf and cumin - to yield flavor-packed meals with an exotic touch.
