Ingredients
- 3 Russet potatoes washed and peeled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 green onions chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until they're fully cooked. Once cooked, drain them and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
- In a food processor, blend the garlic with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This will help mellow the garlic's pungency and create a smooth, flavorful mixture.
- Mash the boiled potatoes well. Then, add the olive oil and garlic mixture to the potatoes. Stir until everything is fully combined and smooth.
- If you like, add some chopped green onions and parsley to your skordalia for extra flavor and freshness.
Notes
- It's common to make homemade skordalia with russet potatoes. However, Yukon Gold or red potatoes work just as well for this recipe. Be sure to peel all potatoes before using them in the recipe.
- For the acidity, you can use either lemon juice, white wine vinegar, or white vinegar. Please avoid using apple cider vinegar or red vinegar.
- Using herbs like green onions and parsley is optional in this recipe, but I love adding them as they make the dip taste so fresh.
- This Greek potato and garlic spread is meant to be very creamy, so make sure you mash the potatoes as smoothly as possible, with as few lumps as you can.
- I would also suggest giving this dish a taste test before serving to ensure you've used enough salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
