Ecomely’s estimate, calculated from the ingredients with the ANSES Ciqual food composition table, excluding sides and seasoning added to taste.

Instructions

  1. Cook the whole potatoes in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes, until they are easily pierced.
  2. Meanwhile, soak the bread crumb in the vinegar for a few minutes, then squeeze out the excess.
  3. Crush the garlic with a pinch of salt in a mortar until you get a smooth paste.
  4. Peel the still-warm potatoes and mash them finely, then mix in the bread and the garlic.
  5. Whisk in the olive oil in a thin stream, like a mayonnaise, stirring constantly.
  6. Season with lemon juice and salt, then refrigerate before serving.

Variations and tips

Almond version. Add ground almonds with the bread for a creamier texture, very traditional in Athens.
