Steps:
- Peel and quarter the potatoes and add to a saucepan with enough cold salted water to cover by 1 inch. Place over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and continue to simmer until potatoes are tender, but not falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking, add garlic and 1 teaspoon kosher salt to a mortar and pestle. Crush into a fine paste and reserve.
- Drain potatoes, reserving some of the cooking water to thin the dip out with later if desired. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Mash with a potato masher or potato ricer until smooth and lump free. Stir in garlic paste. Add lemon juice and vinegar and stir in with the masher.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil in 3 or 4 additions. Add cayenne and more salt if needed. Pass dip through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Serve at room temperature, garnished with olive oil and oregano.

GREEK GARLIC SAUCE DIP (SKORDALIA) SALSA DE AJO GREIGA
I have loads of International Cookbooks, I am fortunate that my brother has traveled the world and each country he visits he sends me cookbooks of their national cuisine. I have two incredible books from Greece and one from Cyprus. This recipe is most interesting. It's made from stale bread and lots of garlic and good virgin olive oil. It is really good. Enjoy

Steps:
- Soak the bread in the chicken broth or water. When soft remove the crust if you want. I leave mine on. Squeeze the bread in your palms to remove most of the water. I have a large seive and I put my bread in the sieve and kind of push down gently to squeeze some of the water out
- Put the pre-soaked bread and all the above ingredients in a blender, Beat until all is well incorporated. Some People like to put a scoopfull of mashed potatoes that is optional. Pour into a bowl and garnish with parsley sprig or cilantro or some mint leaves. You can refrigerate until serving time. NOTE: Do not over beat or it will curdle, Serve with carrot sticks, celery sticks, black olives, scallions, green bell pepper rings, and tomato slices, Enjoy

- Peel and dice the potatoes and rinse under cool water. Add them to a saucepan and top with water (water should cover the potatoes by about 2 inches). Add a good pinch of kosher salt to the water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-low and let simmer until potatoes are tender (about 15 minutes). They should easily break at this point. Rinse them again, this time under hot water. And set aside for 5 to 7 minutes (you want the moisture to evaporate)
- In a food processor, combine blanched almonds (shelled walnuts will work too) with garlic and lemon juice. Add a good pinch of kosher salt. Run the processor until the mixture turns into a paste. (It might be a bit grainy, keep going until you achieve the smoothest paste you can. It will still have some texture, which is fine).
- Here's where the magic happens! Add about half of the extra virgin olive oil, but do it one bit at a time while using a wooden spoon to mix the potatoes. Add the garlic and almond paste and keep adding the extra virgin olive oil a little bit at a time while using a wooden spoon to mix everything together. (You want to reach a fluffy potato dip). Taste and add kosher salt to your liking. Mix again to combine. (Note: at this point, you can chill the skordalia to serve at a later time).
