Skordalia (Garlic Sauce)

I made this with leftover mashed white potatoes that had been in the fridge a few days.   Recipe is from "Greek Cookery: 300 Traditional Recipes" by Aspasia Angelikopoulu.

• 5-6 cloves garlic
• 150 gr. boiled potatoes
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1-2 tsp vinegar (I use apple cider)
• salt

Peel and mash the garlic to a paste.  Add the potatoes and mash.  Add 1-2 teaspoons vinegar and dribble in the oil, mixing constantly.  Serve the skordalia garnished with olives.

Variations: 1. A little lemon may be added along with the olive oil.  2. The potatoes may be replaced with crustless bread, which has been soaked in water and squeezed.
