Preparation
- Gather all ingredients and equipment needed.
- Rinse and peel red potatoes, then cut them into small cubes, place them in a large pot, and fill them with enough water to cover the potatoes. Then turn on to high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook potatoes for 30 minutes or until they are fork tender. Drain water and shake off excess liquids. And then, place potatoes in a bowl, and add roasted garlic. Then, using a food mill, hand/stand mixer, or a fork, mash potatoes until smooth or desired consistency. And let cool down and set aside.
- In a frying pan or skillet, on low medium heat, add oil and garlic cloves and slowly cook until soft and comes to a translucent light golden-brown color.
- In a large bowl, add mashed potatoes, roasted garlic, almond meal, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and mix incorporated fully.
- To serve, spread mashed potatoes evenly onto the board and top with cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, green olives, red onions, cucumbers, capers, feta cheese crumbles, and dill, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil. Serve pita on the side (optional).
