Turn Cold Mashed Potatoes Into a Delightful Sauce
Mashed potatoes are great comfort food in cold weather, but when paired with olive oil, lemon, and garlic, they make the perfect base for a savory summer sauce.
This spicy garlic prayer – Greek in origin and called sklordalia – is quite easy to make and requires ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. First, blanched almonds, lemon juice, and raw garlic are blended together in a food processor to create a delicious, tangy paste. Then this heavenly mixture is mixed with an airy puree until a homogeneous mass is obtained. The Serious Eats recipe requires you to mash the mashed potatoes specifically for this purpose, but it is also a great way to use up any cold mashed potatoes that simmer in your refrigerator (as long as you are the type of person who ever something remained).
