Ingredients

• 17.5 oz golden potatoes, peeled and diced
• handful blanched almonds (or shelled walnuts)
• 3 to 6 cloves of garlic
• ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• ¾ cup Greek extra virgin olive oil
• 1 green onion, trimmed and thinly sliced, for garnish
• fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
• zest of 1 lemon for garnish

Method

• Boil the peeled potatoes, cut them into cubes, and drain the water using a colander. Rinse the potatoes with cold water.
• Put the cooled potatoes back into the pot and add water so that the potatoes are covered by at least two centimeters. Salt the water generously.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are well cooked.
• Drain the potatoes again and rinse them, this time with hot water. Wash for 30 seconds. Let the potatoes sit for 5 to 7 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
• While the potatoes are cooling, combine the almonds, garlic, a large pinch of salt, and lemon juice in the small bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade.
• Process until the garlic and almonds are reduced to a paste (as smooth as possible).
• Mash the potatoes. Using a potato masher or a grinder (do not use a food processor), mash the potatoes thoroughly.
• Mix mashed potatoes with extra virgin olive oil and garlic-almond paste. Add about ½ olive oil, a little at a time, to the mashed potatoes and mix well with a wooden spoon.
• Add the garlic and almond paste and mix well. Then add the remaining olive oil, again gradually, and mix well with a wooden spoon.
• Taste and add more salt if needed. Mix well to combine.
• If you will not serve the spread immediately, put it in the fridge and let it cool.
