Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 baking potatoes -- (1 pound)
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup blanched almonds -- coarsely chopped
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt

In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to a
boil over moderately high heat. Cook the potatoes until they are tender
when pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes. Drain, peel, then pass the
potatoes through a ricer into a medium bowl while they're still hot.
In a blender, combine the olive oil, almonds, water, garlic and lemon
juice and puree until very smooth. Stir the almond mixture into the
potatoes until smooth. Season the skordalia with salt and serve warm or at
room temperature.

Makes 2 cups (16 two-tablespoon servings)

AuthorNote: Sortun serves a number of riffs on skordalia, a Greek garlic
sauce, but here she does a more traditional version with fluffy baking
potatoes and plenty of olive oil. It's important to use a blender, not a
food processor, to achieve the desired silky consistency. If the skordalia
seems too thick, simply stir in a little water.
