 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 2/3   kg           Potatoes
   90       g            Garlic heads
    4                    Lemons
  370       ml           Olive oil
    6                    Black olives
    3                    Lemon slices
                         Sea salt to taste
                         Pinch of parsley
 
   This makes enough Skordalia for several meals.
   Skordalia is a tasty side dish. It can also be used as
   a relish. Keep it refrigerated.
   
   Boil the unpeeled potatoes in water (salted if
   required, but not necessary).
   
   Crush the garlic into a mixing bowl. Peel the
   potatoes, and add them to the bowl whilst they are
   still hot.
   
   Add a pinch of salt. Mix the garlic and potato mixture
   to a pulp; using a food processor or mixer.
   
   Alternately, add the lemon juice and olive oil
   gradually, until all the ingredients are blended into
   a smooth mixture.
   
   Put the mixture into a bowl, garnish with parsley,
   olives and the slices of lemon.
   
   Notes:
   
   The amount of garlic can be varied according to taste;
   like this it has a strong flavour.
   
   Skordalia can be surved as a cold side dish, with
   vegetables.
