Combine Ingredients

Add Optional Ingredients (if using)

Serve

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Skordalia

  • For an extra smooth dip, use a food processor to mash the potatoes. A potato ricer is also excellent for removing any lumps.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the garlic quantity to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste if needed.
  • For a nuttier flavor, toast the almonds before chopping them.
  • Serve Skordalia with crusty bread, pita chips, or vegetables for a delicious appetizer.
