Ingredients
- 7-8 garlic cloves
- 1 pound (450 g) potato preferably starchy like russet
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- red wine vinegar or lemon juice
- salt
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes cut in cubes and boil in water until soft, about 15 -20 minutes
- Once boiled, strain and mix with a hand mixer or potato masher until somewhat smooth.
- In a food processor process the garlic cloves with a bit of salt, and a few drops of olive oil until it is a paste.
- Add ½ of the olive oil in the food processor and continue mixing.
- Add the garlic paste to the potato and mix with a wooden spoon.
- Add the rest of the olive oil gradually, in a steady stream mixing until oil is absorbed.
- Add a bit of red wine vinegar for taste, mix well.
Notes
- To make skordalia with bread instead of potato follow the same recipe but instead of using potatoes, use 10 ounces of stale bread (without the crust) soaked in water and vinegar. Squeeze well and then mix and work the mixture with the garlic paste with a fork or with your hands until it is well combined. Than add the olive oil gradually. See below for more details.
