I love mojo potatoes from Shakey’s and this is my homemade version of it. It’s not an exact recipe, add more or less of the spices and seasonings as you like.
I steamed the potatoes to pre-cook it, it make it easier to cut into thin rounds and it’ll only take a short time to fry them, others boil or bake it first and there are some recipes that just use raw potatoes.
