Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound medium yellow potatoes -- such as Yukon gold
5 large garlic cloves -- or to taste, or to taste, coarsely chopped (variation: 5 roasted garlic cloves)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup almonds

In a large pot, cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil. Cook 30 minutes until tender, drain, and set aside to cool slightly.

Run all ingredients through a food processor until smooth, thinning with a bit of water, if needed, until you reach dip consistency. If you prefer your almonds crunch, add them later in the blending cycle.

Serve with pita or other flatbread. The skordalia can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
