Ingredients

Makes about 2 1/4 cups

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
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.

    Step 2

    Cover potatoes with water in a small pot and season well with salt, then simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.

    Step 3

    While potatoes cook, toast almonds and bread crumbs separately in oven until pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes, then cool.

    Step 4

    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.

    Step 5

    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.

  • Too bland as is...granted I forgot to toast the almonds but even toasted I don't think it would have enhance the flavor. I finally got to an acceptable taste by adding Greek Seasoning & garlic powder. Not sure I'd make this again.

  • When I read this recipe, I thought it was too much garlic, but really it's perfect. I reduced the amount of oil and added some chopped parsley. I used this dip as garnish for a fish. Potatoes in this way are delicious.
