Greek Garlic Sauce (Scordalia) is a traditional Mediterranean sauce made of garlic, bread, potatoes, and olive oil. This sauce is incredibly versatile and can be used as a dip for vegetables, sauce for meats, and even as a spread on sandwiches. The garlic provides this dish with a unique and pungent taste that is perfect for garlic lovers. Potatoes are added to provide thickness to the sauce, and bread is added to ensure the creaminess of the sauce. The combination of olives, olive oil, and white vinegar gives the sauce a tangy and zesty flavor that makes it a perfect complement to almost any dish.

Instructions

1.	In a food processor, blend the mashed potato and garlic until smooth.
2.	Remove most of the crust from the white bread and add it to the food processor with the lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
3.	While the processor is running, slowly add the olive oil and both vinegars until smooth and creamy.
4.	Serve chilled, with your favorite potatoes, meats, or vegetables.
