Heavenly spread for meat, fish, sandwiches, and burgers. They serve this at my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. Finally got the recipe! This is heaven as a dip with pita bread, but everyone in your party has to have some. Serious garlic!

Ingredients

  • 3 small russet potatoes, peeled

  • 1 head garlic, peeled and crushed

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • cup lemon juice

  • ½ cup canola oil

Directions

  1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl; mash until smooth. Set aside to cool.

  2. Put garlic, salt, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor; pour in enough oil to lightly coat garlic cloves. Blend mixture on high; slowly stream remaining oil through the top opening of the blender or food processor until mixture is smooth. Add mashed potatoes, about 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, to the garlic mixture while blender is still running. Continue adding potatoes until all are incorporated. Transfer sauce to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled, 1 hour to overnight.
