• 1 1/2 lbs of Russet potatoes
• 10 cloves of garlic (crushed)
• 1/4 cup Lemon juice
• 1 TB white wine vinegar
• 3/4 tsp Ground white pepper
• 3/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive oil
• 2 tsp Salt

1. Boil potatoes with skins intact until easily pierced with a fork.
2. Remove from water and let cool.
3. The skins can be easily removed and discarded.
4. Puree garlic, vinegar and salt together.
5. When potatoes are cool, put them through a food mill or a potato ricer (I prefer the ricer, I like the texture better than the food mill)
6. Mix in White pepper then the Garlic puree.
7. Stir in the lemon juice.
8. While stiring with a spatula, slowly pour in the olive oil.
9. If mixture seems a little dry, add a little more olive oil.
10. Serve cold or at room temperature with warmed triangles of Flat Bread (Not Pocket Pita)

( Say: skor-thal-YAH) is a delicious appetizer for anyone who loves garlic, or wants to keep people out of their personal bubble for the next 12 hours. I didn't think it was possible, but I love this more than baba ganoush. Served with a bowl of kalamata olives, a few slices of feta, some pepperoncini and you have a fantastic appetizer platter. NOTE: Please do not make this with a standard Potato Masher, it will become extremely gummy almost like liquid plastic.
