Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes into small chunks for faster cooking.
- Place them in a pot of water and bring to a boil.
- Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain, reserving ¼ cup of the cooking water, and let them cool slightly before mashing.
- In a bowl of a food processor, place ¼ a cup of the boiling water from potatoes, the garlic, vinegar, and salt.
- Blend until the garlic is diluted, and let it sit for a few minutes to mellow the sharpness of the garlic.
- Place the boiled potatoes and freshly ground black pepper in a food processor. Gradually pour in the olive oil while blending until smooth.
- You can serve Skordalia immediately or leave it to rest for 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
- Garnish with chili flakes, a drizzle of olive oil, spring onions, or crushed nuts for extra flavor.

Notes
- Use starchy potatoes – They give the dip a smoother texture.

- Adjust the garlic level – Add more or less based on your preference.
- Let it rest before serving – The flavors blend better over time.
- Drizzle extra olive oil before serving – Adds richness and a glossy finish.
