Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes (peeled and chopped)
• 6 cloves Garlic cloves (peeled)

• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons Water (if needed for consistency)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the russet potatoes into small, even pieces to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the chopped potatoes in a pot of cold water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press for a smoother texture.

Step 4

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth and free of lumps.

Step 6

Gradually add the minced garlic to the mashed potatoes, mixing well to incorporate.

Step 7

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously stirring to create a creamy mixture.

Step 8

Stir in the lemon juice and white wine vinegar, ensuring everything is well combined.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting as necessary.

Step 10

If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 11

Transfer the sauce to a serving dish, garnish if desired, and serve as a dip, condiment, or sauce for your favorite dishes.
