SKORDALIA (GARLIC DIP)
An indication of knowing someone really well is knowing which foods they love, like, and hate. My father loves this recipe, and I was told by Kyria Loula, who knew him as a boy, that it had to go into the book just for him. If you follow his taste buds, the more garlic the better. If you follow mine, start slow, taste as you go, and add more garlic as needed.

Steps:
- Boil the potato in a small pot of salted water.
- Add the 2 cloves of garlic and sea salt to a blender or food processor, and pulse until it becomes a thick paste. Add more garlic if desired. Squeeze the water from the bread, and drain the potato, reserving some of the cooking water. Add the bread and potato to the garlic paste along with the almonds and half the lemon juice. Process until the mixture is well combined, but still slightly coarse in texture.
- While the processor is running, start to slowly pour the olive oil into the mixture. If it is too thick, add a spoonful of the reserved potato water and continue to add the oil. Once the mixture becomes lighter in color and thinner in texture, stop and taste your creation. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add a little of the remaining lemon juice. Taste again, and if you are lucky enough to have gotten it just right, put into a bowl or jar and reserve in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- If the skordalia seems unbalanced, use your taste buds to steer you in the right direction. If you want it more pungent, add more garlic. If the garlic flavor is overpowering, add a few drops of lemon juice. Season with more salt. Blend. Taste again. Repeat as many times as needed to get it where you want it. Skordalia needs to taste good to you, not to me.

Steps:
- Pound garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a mortar until smooth.
- Add mashed potatoes and continue to pound and stir with pestle.

- Add to potatoes and garlic, pounding and stirring until smooth.
- Gradually add olive oil, lemon juice and vinegar, stirring vigorously.
- When smooth and light, add salt and pepper to taste.

- Variation: Replace bread with 1/2 cup ground almonds or walnuts, or use 1 1/2 cups of ground almonds or walnuts instead of the potatoes and bread.
- Blender method: Put all ingredients in a blender and blend at moderate speed until ingredients are pulverised. Sure beats all that pounding!
- Increase speed for a few seconds until light and smooth. Do not blend for too long for the mixture heats and the oil separates.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 2 inches and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until very tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool slightly.
- Rub the skins off the potatoes and discard them. Coarsely chop the potatoes and puree them through a food mill or ricer into a medium bowl.
- Meanwhile, on a cutting board, lightly sprinkle the garlic with a generous pinch of the salt and smash it into a fine paste with the side of a cook's knife.
- In a food processor, combine the garlic, almonds, and oil and puree into a paste. Mix the oil mixture into the potatoes until incorporated; then mix in the 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon salt, water, lemon juice, and vinegar and season with pepper, to taste. Serve.

This is from Jeff Smith, The Frugal Gourmet, 1984. If you serve this at a party, everyone must have some, or some of your guests may be offended! Can use as a sauce for fried calamari or as a spread for crudite, torn pita bread, or crackers. Not for the faint of heart!

Steps:
- Peel and quarter the potatoes and add to a saucepan with enough cold salted water to cover by 1 inch. Place over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and continue to simmer until potatoes are tender, but not falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking, add garlic and 1 teaspoon kosher salt to a mortar and pestle. Crush into a fine paste and reserve.
- Drain potatoes, reserving some of the cooking water to thin the dip out with later if desired. Let sit for 5 minutes.

- Whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil in 3 or 4 additions. Add cayenne and more salt if needed. Pass dip through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Serve at room temperature, garnished with olive oil and oregano.

- Peel and dice the potatoes and rinse under cool water. Add them to a saucepan and top with water (water should cover the potatoes by about 2 inches). Add a good pinch of kosher salt to the water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-low and let simmer until potatoes are tender (about 15 minutes). They should easily break at this point. Rinse them again, this time under hot water. And set aside for 5 to 7 minutes (you want the moisture to evaporate)
- In a food processor, combine blanched almonds (shelled walnuts will work too) with garlic and lemon juice. Add a good pinch of kosher salt. Run the processor until the mixture turns into a paste. (It might be a bit grainy, keep going until you achieve the smoothest paste you can. It will still have some texture, which is fine).
- Here's where the magic happens! Add about half of the extra virgin olive oil, but do it one bit at a time while using a wooden spoon to mix the potatoes. Add the garlic and almond paste and keep adding the extra virgin olive oil a little bit at a time while using a wooden spoon to mix everything together. (You want to reach a fluffy potato dip). Taste and add kosher salt to your liking. Mix again to combine. (Note: at this point, you can chill the skordalia to serve at a later time).
