Skordalia – Greek Garlic Potato Dip – Food Wishes ctm magazine
I love a great dip, and potatoes might be my favorite food, so it’s not surprising that I’m a huge fan of Skordalia. This Greek garlic dip and spread is so simple to make, and so satisfying to eat, it’s sort of surprising it hasn’t achieved a similar popularity as its distant cousin, hummus.

Why not add even more salt…. Great dish, but your use of so much salt is irresponsible IMO.
you can't stop chef john: double dipping, mixing it up with the bread and pepper at the end… radical i say! always breaking new ground.
You finally got me with “mashed potato sandwich”
Why can i not stop hearing ben shapiro's voice????
Can you please please please make Kunafa??
It's a middle eastern desert..
Middle eastern restaurant in Dallas called Ali Babas, the one lower Greenville, has the best roast chicken on the planet, with a version of this as the starch. I lived in Dallas fifteen years ago and I can still taste that chicken and garlic potatoes.
Thank you!
The accent is on the last "a" so it's scordaliA. 😅 It can be made with bread or walnuts instead of potatoes but I do prefer the latter ones for sure
That's a really cool mortar and pestle that you have
Sarson ka tail milade, zyada garam phoot dega! Sarson ka taeil bro!
Please change the way u speak!
Please bro, it's tiring!.
We also make it with bread and walnut without the potato..
It’s a healthy dose of garlic for a single serving. Got to keep the vampires away
Accidentally vegan!! 😀 <3
🥔 🧄…..👌🏻😋🙏🏻😁complete perfection! Omg drooling! Literally nothing better! Wow!
I like the simplicity of these recipes but i mainly watch these vids purely because Chef John is just so darn amusing.
It's better with white bread 🍞
Your preparation would become a way too forceful palate bomb, if u incorpotated in your potato/garlic mixture a plain fish broth (just water and the cod parts behind the gill cover, around the pectoral/pelvic fins), so long as this version of skordalia goes with the rest main parts of your codfish well fried!
My grandma also used only mortar & pestle all along the preparation plus her obstinate arm work, which turned the potato real gummy, like melted cheese, and that was a good sign that you used the right potato type.

Eat it over boiled beats !! That’s the way to eat it
Generally Greeks eat skordalia with Cod dipped in batter and deep-fried
Did you use a different technique to fire roast the mini bell peppers than you demonstrated on your large red bell fire roasting?
Chef John,
What kind of mortar and pestle do you recommend? A marble one or a wood one?
Yum mm !!
That is a lovely mortar and pestle set.
Hi chef John!!!! Love your recipe!!!! Xoxoxoxoxo from Greece 🇬🇷
I'm Greek, eating skordalia my whole life and I can verify that the recipe in the video is the "classic", most common version of skordalia.😊
In most Greek households they make skordalia with potatoes or dry bread. Never heard of the version with the walnuts someone is describing below. Maybe the walnut version is traditional on certain places in Greece, but it certainly isn't as popular or classic as the one with the potatoes.
If you go to a restaurant in Greece and ask for skordalia, 99.9% you'll get the one with the potatoes as presented in the video.
0:40 is it because they want to keep as much starch as possible?
Nice work Chef. Watching with my Greek in-laws and they’re very impressed. “Yes. Yes. The Chef John. He knows the food.”
😂😂😂😂
Ps … I’m sure others will have said. But the accent on the word goes with the ‘Tonos’ mark, so … Skordal-YA. 🙂
Don’t stress. It’s all Greek to me too. 😂😂
fwiw, the accent should probably be on the last syllable (skor-dal-YA)…
It is great with deep fried cod
In Greece we eat skordalia with fried cod, it’s a really good pair!
im going to try and make this croquet style
Please: Make Picanha Brazilian style …
Do you think dried matched potato powder would work as well? Than it would be suuuper quickly made
Greeklish strikes again, d is more like th, which makes Skorthalia a more correct way to write and pronounce it but whatever, it taste the same however you pronounce it
Okay so I tried and damn…I think this is one of my top dips
unpeeled potatoes taste different
I use one head of garlic for every potato! Yes, I am greek. Opa!
I plan to make this as a side dish to go with your Greek Feta baked chicken. 💘
Is this Zankou garlic sauce?
Will use the strainer for a creamy texture and yes the bread dip is a favourite in my home. Superb.
Thank you for getting technical with the recipe and instructions. Greek easter gone be liiiiiiit
Why not use a chinois?
This would be great with a crispy fried pita bread!
Squadala
I love how he doesn't just do the tends but finds fun unique things.
it's not skordAlia. it's skordaliA
Absolutelly bizarre, my wife and I where discussing making skordalia, so I said let me check youtube and your skordalia recipe is right on top of the feed list. Clearly my phone is listening in.
Enjoy it with hot pita bread…
