Mashed Potato Skordalia image

Traditional Greek skordalia is mostly garlic and olive oil with some potato or nuts added to thicken it. We flipped the ratio in this recipe: more potato, less garlic. Serve as a dip, or thin out with lemon juice and olive oil and use as a sauce for fish.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my skordalia turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much lemon juice.
