Step by Step guide

Step 1

Boil the potatoes in their skins. Let them cool slightly, dry, and peel. In a large mortar (or bowl), crush the garlic with a small pinch of salt, then add the still warm potatoes and mash them together with the garlic until smooth.

Step 2

Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon and then, in a thin stream, add the oil to the potatoes, garlic, and lemon juice while continuously stirring. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more lemon juice or plain room temperature water. Continue to add oil until the mixture becomes glossy. If necessary, squeeze the juice of another lemon for a brighter flavor.
