Delicious Skordalia Recipe: A Mexican Classic

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 2 cups potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup garlic (minced)
  • 1 lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Cook Potatoes

    In a pot, boil the cubed potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

    Check doneness by piercing with a fork; it should slide in easily.
  2. Drain and Mash

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth.

    For a creamier texture, use a potato ricer.
  3. Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and mix well until evenly distributed.

    Use roasted garlic for a milder flavor.
  4. Incorporate Olive Oil

    Gradually add olive oil while stirring, until the mixture is creamy.

    Adjust olive oil according to your desired consistency.
  5. Season

    Add lemon juice and salt, mixing thoroughly to combine all flavors.

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
