Skordalià (greek potatoes and garlic dip)

IMG_9122

I said that many times: I simply love garlic. The social implications are easily solved cause the garlic day generally is Friday! Skordalià (you read it with an accent on the final A), is a easy dip made with mashed potatoes and garlic. The quantity of garlic suggested is the minimum needed to give it its flavor. If you love garlic as I do, you can double the quantities!

Serves 4

3 garlic cloves

Boil the potatoes in salted water (it will take around 30 mins). Drain and let cool. Peel and mash them roughly with a fork.
