Aioli + Potatoes = Skordalia
- For the aioli
- 1 head garlic, top cut off about a half inch down, drizzled with a teaspoon of olive oil, placed on a piece of foil to cover and roasted in a 450F oven for 30 minutes
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- 1 room temperature egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 cup neutral oil such as vegetable or canola
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- For the Skordalia
- 2 heaping cups diced potatoes ( I used Yukon Gold but russets will work )
- The previously made aioli
- Lemon juice and salt for adjusting the finished product
- In the bowl of a mini processor place the roasted garlic cloves, clove of fresh garlic, egg, salt,mustard and lemon juice and process until smooth.
- Drizzle in the 2 oils through the teeny holes on the lid of the processor with the machine on and until the mixture thickens. Refrigerate to thicken a bit more.
- Boil the potatoes until tender and then put them through a ricer or food mill. Cool.
- Combine the aioli with the riced potatoes, stirring vigorously and adjust the taste with lemon juice and salt. Chill before serving.
