2 cups cooked and mashed potatoes (about 2 large)
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
0.5 tsp salt, or to taste
0.25 tsp black pepper, or to taste
1 bag corn tortilla chips or GF crackers for serving Shop

Instructions

1 Ensure your cooked potatoes are completely cooled and mashed to a smooth consistency. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the minced garlic, making sure the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the potato base.
2 Begin to slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while vigorously whisking or using a food processor. Continue to incorporate the olive oil until the mixture emulsifies and becomes thick and creamy, resembling a smooth paste, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
3 Stir in the fresh lemon juice and finely chopped fresh parsley. Season the skordalia with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting the seasonings as needed to achieve your desired flavor balance.
4 Allow the skordalia to rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly. This resting period is crucial for the best taste and texture.
5 Serve the chilled skordalia immediately with a side of crunchy corn tortilla chips or your favorite gluten-free crackers. You can also serve it with fresh vegetable crudités for a lighter option.

Tips & Notes

If you use a food processor in step 2, pulse only until the oil is absorbed. Long processing turns potatoes gluey.
Add the olive oil in a thin stream. Poured in too fast, it won't emulsify and the skordalia turns greasy.
Raw garlic gets stronger as the dip rests. Start with 4 cloves, taste after chilling, and add more if you want it sharper.
