Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Water (or vegetable stock)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks for quicker cooking.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, roast the garlic. To do this, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over low heat. Add the garlic cloves (unpeeled) and roast for about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the cloves are soft and slightly golden.
Let the roasted garlic cool for a few minutes, then peel off the skins to reveal the softened garlic inside.
Drain the boiled potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth using a potato masher or fork.
Add the roasted garlic, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and parsley to the mashed potatoes.
Gradually mix in the water (or vegetable stock) to achieve your desired dip consistency. For a smoother texture, you can use a hand blender or food processor to whip the mixture until creamy.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and extra chopped parsley.
Serve warm or at room temperature with chips, bread, or fresh veggies. Enjoy!
