Ingredients

Ingredients:

2 russet potatoes peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes
8 cloves garlic minced
juice from 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
3/4 - 1 cup olive oil

Instructions

Place potatoes in a pot with enough water to just cover them. Boil until fork tender. Drain. Allow to cool.
Run cooled potatoes through a food mill or ricer.
In a food processor combine potatoes, garlic, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Turn food processor on and process until smooth.
With food processor running, slowly drizzle in 3/4 cup of olive oil in a steady stream until mixture emulsifies. Check for consistency. If you would like a little creamier, turn on food processor and slowly drizzle in remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil.
Season to taste with salt.
Serve with veggies or pita bread.

Notes

Be sure to check back later this week, I am going to show you one heck of a fish dish that uses this recipe. It was seriously one of the best fish dishes I've had in a long time and its easy to boot.
