The most famous dish from Canarian cuisine is called Papas arrugadas. These are potatoes, which without peeling, are boiled in water with a lot of salt. After boiling, the water is removed, and extra salt is added to the potatoes until they get dry. The dish is served with generously poured mojo picon sauce. Papas arrugadas introduces the whole archipelago in one bite. Give it a try, of course!
