It is a wonderful thick potato/garlic (VERY garlicy) condiment that
you eat on fish/chicken/meat. Also called Skordelia. Here is the
recipe.

Skorthalia (Skordalia): Greek Garlic Dip and Sauce
My older family members would fix this using a mortar and pestle to
first degrade the garlic with salt, then add other ingredients to
create the purée texture desired. Today, I often use a food processor
or hand mixer which makes things a lot easier and takes a lot less
time! <i>Skordalia</i> (skorthalia) can also be made with bread, but
the potato recipe is more versatile since it can double as garlic
mashed potatoes.
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons minced garlic.
3 or 4 boiled potatoes, mashed. (or 6 slices white bread, crusts
removed, soaked in 1/2 cup cold water and squeezed dry.)
1 cup olive oil.
1/3 cup white wine vinegar.
Salt and pepper to taste.
METHOD
(Hand method)
Combine garlic with mashed potatoes or bread in a mortar. Blend to
form a soft paste. Add olive oil and vinegar alternately in very
small amounts, stirring briskly. Add salt and pepper. Continue to
whisk until sauce is thick.
(Blender or food processor method)
Place garlic and potatoes or bread in bowl and blend. Add olive oil
and vinegar and continue to blend. If too thick, add 1/4 cup cold
water. Add salt and pepper. Blend until creamy and thick.
