INGREDIENTS
800g white potatoes, peeled
4 fresh garlic cloves, chopped
½ cup (125ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ cup (125ml) olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
½ teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons cold water
To Garnish:
Extra virgin olive oil
Parsley, finely chopped
Paprika
To Serve:
Pita bread, gluten-free
Vegetable sticks (carrot, celery, cucumber, capsicum)
Or as part of main meal with (chicken, lamb, vegetables etc)
Or pair with Snake / Green Beans
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Boil the Potatoes: Place the peeled potatoes in a pot of boiling, salted water (add at least a teaspoon of salt). Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain well and allow to completely cool (Cooling prevents overworked starches, keeping skordalia creamy, not gummy or gluey).
2. Blend the Ingredients: Transfer the potatoes to a food processor. Add the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Pulse to combine until smooth. If needed, add a few tablespoons of cold water to loosen the consistency.
3. Adjust & Garnish: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve in a bowl, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and garnished with paprika and parsley.
4. Serve & Enjoy: Serve at room temperature with pita, as part of a Greek mezze platter or as my mum served it, alongside snake beans. Find the recipe HERE.
Storing Leftovers – Skordalia can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. The flavours will continue to develop, making it even more delicious! Before serving, give it a quick stir and, if needed, adjust the consistency with a splash of water or lemon juice.
