- 5
- Yields:
-
1 batch
ingredients
- 1 lb potato
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
directions
- Take one pound of potatoes, peeled, diced and boiled until soft.
- Pour out the water and leave them in the pan a couple of minutes to dry out.
- Meanwhile you've taken two tablespoons of chopped garlic and prepared that with a teaspoon of salt and a half a cup of olive oil.
- The Greeks swear that you have to do this by hand, but I've done it with a blender and it works fine.
- You take the hot potatoes and dump them in the olive oil, salt, and garlic mixture, blend them up until it's smooth.
- Add a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice and then taste it, you might need a little more salt, a little more lemon juice.
- You want to get where it just kind of hangs on the bread.

Oh YUM!! Thank you so much for this recipe! It has become my all-time favorite accompanyment to crusty bread. I wasn't quite sure of the consistency, since I've never had it before - and the recipe didn't specify with or without skins - so I wasn't sure if I did it right (even tho it was delicious!). Just yesterday, we went to a greek restaurant and ordered skordalia - next time I know to remove the skins and really puree it all together. I can't wait for next time!! :)
