❤️ Why You’ll Love Skordalia
Quick: Make this skordalia recipe in only 20 minutes, it’s so easy and quick Less Than 10 Ingredients: This recipe uses less than 10 ingredients to make, and they’re all simple ingredients you probably have on hand right now Comforting: I find this dip so dang comforting. I mean, anything with potatoes as the base is a comfort food
🍲 Ingredients
Russet Potatoes – For this dip I used russet potatoes. Russets are best for mashed potatoes because of their high starch content. However, if you don’t have Russet, Idaho and Yukon Gold will work too. Garlic – The key ingredient in this recipe (aside from the potatoes) is the garlic and you’ll notice there is a lot of garlic in this recipe. Do not add less, you want the sharp flavor of the garlic to come through your potato base in this recipe. I promise it’s so good. A benefit of all the garlic? It’s a great immunity-building ingredient for cold and flu season.
👩🍳 How to Make Skordalia
🪄 Tips and Tricks
Rinse Potatoes: Rinse your potatoes before and after you cook them. This can help remove some of the starch and give your potato base a better consistency Garlic: You want your skordalia to be garlicy! Use the 6 cloves, but if you are sensitive to garlic you can use less. Roasted garlic can also be great in this dip as well, but you’ll want to use more (around 10 cloves) since it’s not as strong Let It Sit: Once you make the dip, let it sit for a bit as the flavors will really marinate together and become even tastier
🗒 Variations
I have seen a few variations of this traditional dip. If you want to get creative, you can try substituting the mashed potatoes for mashed sweet potatoes, or mashed beets, or a combination of both. You can also blend things like spinach or kale into your potatoes/dip for some added veggies.
