Skordalia Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Boil the Potatoes

   Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Roast the Garlic

   While the potatoes are cooking, roast the garlic. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off a head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for about 30-35 minutes until soft.

3. 3

   Char the Scallions

   Heat a grill or skillet over high heat. Toss the scallions with a little olive oil and cook until charred on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and chop finely.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes and roasted garlic together. Add in the charred scallions, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Adjust Seasoning

   Taste the Skordalia and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

6. 6

   Serve

   Transfer the Skordalia to a serving dish. Drizzle with extra olive oil and serve with crusty bread or as a dip.
