SKORDALIA (GREEK GARLIC POTATO DIP)
Not only is this a fabulous dip for vegetables and breads and things like that, it's also served as a side dish for things like fried fish and grilled meats--so this stuff is as versatile as it is easy to make.

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.

Steps:
- Broil 2 large red bell peppers, turning, until charred, 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover and let steam 20 minutes. Remove the skin, stems and seeds. Puree the peppers in a blender with 1/4 cup each blanched almonds and lemon juice and 6 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, cook 2 russet potatoes (peeled and cut into chunks) and 6 smashed garlic cloves in salted simmering water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until dry, 2 minutes; remove from the heat and mash. Fold in the pepper puree. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice and top with chives.
SKORDALIA
This is my take on traditional Greek skordalia, which is a sauce or dip typically made with pureed potatoes, loads of garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, parsley and sometimes breadcrumbs or ground nuts. When I was younger, my family would go out to Greek restaurants, and I would fill up on this and totally ruin the rest of my dinner-but it was 100% worth it.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Season the water with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the cooking water in the saucepan.
- To the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the almonds, garlic, oregano and 2 teaspoons salt. Process to a paste. With the machine running, add the lemon juice, vinegar and olive oil in a slow steady stream until very smooth. Add the drained potatoes and pulse to combine. Add 1 cup of the reserved potato cooking liquid. Pulse to bring together and then process until just smooth and light, adding more water if needed (the consistency should be similar to hummus). Taste and season with salt, if needed.
- Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with chili oil. Serve with vegetables and pita chips for dipping.
- Heat a grill pan or gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil and heat until shimmering, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chives, dill, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes until infused. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Liberally brush the pita breads with oil on both sides, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the oiled breads onto the hot grill to sear and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Brush the grilled pita breads with the herby butter and season with sumac and flaky salt, if desired. Cut into wedges and serve as dippers with the skordalia.
SKORDALIA
Found on a commercial garlic grower's website on the internet: "All of the Greek restaurants serve a dark, crusty bread with a garlic dip they call Skordalia. It's a very simple and economical dish. Even people who wouldn't think they would like garlic will like this. For years we'd go down there and hit all the clubs. We could never find out what was in it. We'd go home and we thought: "There must be yogurt in it", but we could never really get it. Finally one day we went into Stacy's Restaurant and it turned out that Julie Stacy had and gave us the recipe:"

Steps:
- Take one pound of potatoes, peeled, diced and boiled until soft.
- Pour out the water and leave them in the pan a couple of minutes to dry out.
- Meanwhile you've taken two tablespoons of chopped garlic and prepared that with a teaspoon of salt and a half a cup of olive oil.
- The Greeks swear that you have to do this by hand, but I've done it with a blender and it works fine.
- You take the hot potatoes and dump them in the olive oil, salt, and garlic mixture, blend them up until it's smooth.
- Add a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice and then taste it, you might need a little more salt, a little more lemon juice.
- You want to get where it just kind of hangs on the bread.
