    Skordalia (Greek garlic and potato puree)

    My old boss Brian Townley's Skordalia lust inspired me to search this recipe out. Here it is. Skordalia goes well will a lot of things, but I like to just scoop mine up with good Greek bread.

    Preheat oven 400 degrees farenheit.

    4 large baking potatoes (about 2 pounds worth)
     Bake the potatoes for 1 hour or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop the pulp from each half into a large bowl.

    8 cloves garlic, coarsley chopped
    Juice from 2 lemons
     Add the garlic and lemon to the potato pulp. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until almost smoov.

    1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    1/4 cup red wine vinegar
     Mising on low speed, slowly add the olive oil and vinegar, alternating between the two.

    1 cup cold water
     Add the water and mix by hand until smoov.

    1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
    Salt and pepper to taste
     Add the parsley and season with salt and pepper; mix well. Serve at room temperature.
