Skordalia (Garlic Potato)

Directions

This makes enough Skordalia for several meals.

Skordalia is a tasty side dish.

It can also be used as a relish.

Keep it refrigerated.

Boil the unpeeled potatoes in water (salted if required, but not necessary).

Crush the garlic into a mixing bowl.

Peel the potatoes, and add them to the bowl whilst they are still hot.

Add a pinch of salt.

Mix the garlic and potato mixture to a pulp; using a food processor or mixer.

Alternately, add the lemon juice and olive oil gradually, until all the ingredients are blended into a smooth mixture.

Put the mixture into a bowl, garnish with parsley, olives and the slices of lemon.

Notes: The amount of garlic can be varied according to taste; like this it has a strong flavour.

Skordalia can be surved as a cold side dish, with vegetables.
