Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    While the potatoes are boiling, peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them, or use a garlic press.

  3. 3

    Blend the Ingredients

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.

  4. 4

    Mix until Smooth

    Using a potato masher or a food processor, blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the skorthalia to a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit more olive oil on top. Serve with bread or as a dip.
