Skordalia (Garlic Potato)

1 2/3 kg Potatoes

90 g Garlic heads

4 Lemons

370 ml Olive oil

6 Black olives

3 Lemon slices

Sea salt to taste Pinch of parsley 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. Posted by Kaz Glover in Intercook
