This traditional Greek potato and almond dip, often known as skordalia, is a beautifully textured vegan dish. By combining earthy russet potatoes with toasted nuts and golden breadcrumbs, it creates a rich, savoury base that is brightened with a touch of fresh lemon. The addition of warm extra-virgin olive oil ensures a silky finish, making it a sophisticated alternative to more common hummus or vegetable-based dips.
Ideal as part of a Mediterranean-style mezze platter, this homemade dip is perfect for sharing with friends alongside salty crackers or warm pitta bread. As it is naturally plant-based, it serves as a nutritious and satisfying option for vegan guests, offering a healthy dose of heart-healthy fats from the nuts and olive oil. Serve it at room temperature to allow the garlic and citrus flavours to truly shine.

Ingredients for Greek Potato and Almond Dip
350g russet (baking) potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
70g sliced almonds
70g coarse fresh white bread crumbs
3 garlic cloves
120ml water
3 to 20ml fresh lemon juice, divided
160ml extra-virgin olive oil, warmed
Accompaniment: crackers
How to make Greek Potato and Almond Dip
Preheat oven to 177°C with rack in middle.
Cover potatoes with water in a small pot and season well with salt, then simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.
While potatoes cook, toast almonds and bread crumbs separately in oven until pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes, then cool.
With motor running, drop garlic into a food processor and chop. Add nuts and bread crumbs and finely grind. Pulse in water, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Drain potatoes and coarsely mash with fork, then add to processor with oil and pulse to combine. Add lemon juice to taste and thin with a little water if desired.
