Yield Makes about 2 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pound russet (baking) potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup coarse fresh white bread crumbs
3 garlic cloves
1/2 cup water
3 to 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, divided
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, warmed
Accompaniment: crackers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Cover potatoes with water in a small pot and season well with salt, then simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • While potatoes cook, toast almonds and bread crumbs separately in oven until pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes, then cool.
  • With motor running, drop garlic into a food processor and chop. Add nuts and bread crumbs and finely grind. Pulse in water, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  • Drain potatoes and coarsely mash with fork, then add to processor with oil and pulse to combine. Add lemon juice to taste and thin with a little water if desired.

I'm not a big fan of potato salad, but this dip is a whole different story. It's light and refreshing, and the almonds add a nice crunch.

This is a great make-ahead dip. I can make it a day or two in advance and it's still just as good.
