Notes

Do not place your potatoes in the blender. They get gummy and will ruin the texture of the dip.
You can also use a hand mixer to mash the potatoes. They can also get gummy with a hand mixer, but if you're careful, it can work.
Use your blender or food processor to get the almonds and garlic as pulverized as possible in order to avoid a grainy dip.
Add additional salt at the end if needed.
