1 2/3 kg Potatoes
90 g Garlic heads
4 Lemons
370 ml Olive oil
6 Black olives
3 Lemon slices
Sea salt to taste
Pinch of parsley

This makes enough Skordalia for several meals.
Skordalia is a tasty side dish. It can also be used as
a relish. Keep it refrigerated.

Boil the unpeeled potatoes in water (salted if
required, but not necessary).

Crush the garlic into a mixing bowl. Peel the
potatoes, and add them to the bowl whilst they are
still hot.

Add a pinch of salt. Mix the garlic and potato mixture
to a pulp; using a food processor or mixer.

Alternately, add the lemon juice and olive oil
gradually, until all the ingredients are blended into
a smooth mixture.

Put the mixture into a bowl, garnish with parsley,
olives and the slices of lemon.

Notes:

The amount of garlic can be varied according to taste;
like this it has a strong flavour.

Skordalia can be surved as a cold side dish, with
vegetables.
