Cuban Mojo Potatoes
Inspired by Yucca con Ajo, these Cuban Mojo Potatoes cooked on the grill in foil packets are loaded with flavor. Combined with garlic, onions, olive oil, lime, and seasonings, sealed tightly in aluminum foil and cooked directly over the charcoals, they are the perfect accompaniment to the Cuban Mojo Chicken or my Mojo Shrimp with Garlic Spinach and Mushrooms.
