Skordalia (Garlic Mashed Potatoes)
Appetizers • European
Description
Skordalia should be prepared quickly so that the potatoes do not cool down. Skordalia is a garlic dip, a dish from Greek cuisine. It is most often served as a hot appetizer, but it can also be served as a side dish with meat and fish dishes. In the traditional recipe, 1 head of garlic and 1 lemon should be used. I decided to reduce the proportions of these ingredients. Skordalia pairs perfectly with fried zucchini, kolokithokeftedes (zucchini fritters), fried fish like cod, fried eggplant, traditional beet salad, etc.
Ingredients
- Salad Potatoes 5 pieces
