  • 12 garlic cloves, minced

Method

  • Add the salt to a large pot of water.
  • Peel the potatoes and boil in salted water until well done.
  • Drain.
  • Sprinkle the potatoes with pepper and mash.
  • In the blender bowl of the food processor (or with a hand mixer), puree the potatoes and garlic until well mixed, about 30-45 seconds.
  • Still pureeing, slowly add the olive oil and vinegar, alternating between them, tasting as you go, until the mixture is smooth.
  • Skorthalia should be creamy and thick.
  • If it gets too thick, add a little cold water (not more than 1/4 cup).
